    Just double checking safe temps

    Alrighty, just installed my pyrometer over the weekend, an Autometer unit (wanted isspro, but this one'll work fine, and got a good deal on it) most of the time, temps stayed around 4-600, would peak to 8-900, and the time I tried to get them the highest, I was only able to peak to 1000, so i'm...

    IH parts/ interchangeability

    Now, heres another question, could you take the exhaust manifolds off of a 404/446 GAS series IH V8 engine and put them on a 6.9? I was gonna cut me some header flanges with the neighbor's new heavy duty plasma cutter. And had some 404 exhaust manifolds lyin around. Another thing, are bolt...

    Dana 44/Dana 44 HD, will lockouts interchange?

    Will the lockouts on a Dana 44 and a Dana 44 HD interchange? My jeep's got a D44 in the front, and so does the junk scout my uncle's got. They probly won't interchange, but regular D44 hubs are cheaper than D50 ones that I was shopping for a while back, and since i'm going to a D44 HD, I'm...

    Twin Turbos, one off of each side, how to?

    Okay, if I wanted to set up a parallel twin turbo setup, theoretically, I would get two small turbos from four cyl gas cars right? 420 ci / 2 = 210 ci per side, so supposedly, I would need two turbos that make 10-15 lbs apiece, per side, right? I would of course need headers, some creative...

    Fuel Return Questions

    Could you plug off the fuel return and get a little extra power like you could on older diesel tractors? Used to be you could get a little extra power at the cost of a little more fuel consumption. But, I don't know how or if this'll work on the V8 engine design with the Stanadyne pump.

    Propane Injection Questions

    Okay, I read Ziggy's article on how to do a propane injection, has anybody else done this to an IDI? I wanna do some more research on the subject and find out if there's better ways to control it like some sort of remote dash mounted gauge, switches, whatever. I'm looking at nitrous...

    Beefing up a C6

    I haven't really heard much good from a C6, but what are easy ways to beef up a C6, or at least to keep one alive? I'm open to do anything but don't exactly know about the mysticism of Auto trannies. (been a three pedal person all my life) Something about changing valve bodies, B&M stuff...

    I like Chrome

    Well, here's another one, does anybody make any sort of chrome parts for these? Or will I have to have them custom chromed? Some valve covers would be nice...

    Turbo, piece by piece

    Okay, here's another question, what specific parts do I need to piece together a turbo kit, and what kind of turbo's will produce the low boost I need for a stock IDI? I don't want space heads... I was wondering about the piece that connects the piping to the intake, does it have to be...

    Performance engine parts

    Another question, does anybody make performance pistons, rods, stroker kits, cranks, heads, intake manifolds, etc... for the IDI's? I've heard a few about head studs, rods and pistons, but not an awful lot.

    Roosa-Master/Stanadyne pump questions

    I just saw a post on heads for Stanadyne pumps, and it got me thinking. We've got an old farm tractor, an 856 International. It is a six cylinder diesel, with a roosamaster pump. Roosa-master, I believe is the older name for stanadyne rotary pumps. The pump went out of this tractor years...

    Factory Limited Slip Questions

    Does anybody know anything about a limited slip in a 1986 Ford 3/4 ton HD? Like specs for the lim slip itself or what kind of special additive it takes or anything to do with it at all?

    How do you Cut and Turn a Ford Dana 50 TTB?

    Okay, here it goes. I've got a 1990 F250 HD formerly with a 7.3 (now 6.9 because 375,000 and a teenager's right foot don't work well together, and this one's out of an international bus) It is 4x4, but I tore up the front end and now I'm swapping a new one under it, out of an 86 Diesel F250HD...
