Ah hell that’s lower than mine. You ain’t gonna burn it up like that. Just keep an eye on the gauge and keep on a rollin
That sounds like a solid plan. They can be made to run good and strong. They just weren’t very powerful in stock form.It doesnt have to be this IDI, I have a fresher IDI im studding and a core im throwing together with shaved pistons plus studs. Not in the biggest hurry but 55-65 without leaving it mashed on the flats would be cool
I can heat it right up to 1300+ if i leave my foot in it, but i only have so many more idis laying aroundAh hell that’s lower than mine. You ain’t gonna burn it up like that. Just keep an eye on the gauge and keep on a rollin
Oh the plungers are different even in the 7.3 NA? that gives me an idea for the next budget pump at least. And yeah i agree that 7/16 head bolts are laughable on the 6.9.Cavitation is a concern, however I have only seen it once, in many many trucks. 6.9s are not without concerns, and absolutely need head studs.
6.9 pump has smaller plungers in the rotor. Dont know any other differences for sure, but know that putting a 6.9 pump on my 7.3 lost a lot of power.
Unless you go crazy on a build, these engine will never win very many drag races.0-60 is in the range of 17 seconds
I dont mind crazy, long as its cheap (doing it myself over paying someone else)Unless you go crazy on a build, these engine will never win very many drag races.
You're not going to get that out of a 6.9 either. That would take a 7.3 with the Turbo rods at the minimum.I dont mind crazy, long as its cheap (doing it myself over paying someone else)
