Guess I'm going to have to sell one of the kidneys.
Any updates on the great bellhousing pattern matchup search?
Yep, adapter to ZF, or SAE2 tranny.
Still not 100% sure on which way I would go; I've even thought of using an Allison 600 series auto in it (this would be the easiest and cheapest way to go). Depends on what kind of deal I can conjure up.
I spent about 2 weeks trying to find some way to bolt the DT to the ZF, but got nowhere.
Those little PS electric pumps shut off whenever they suck down to a set amount of vaccum(not sure what that is though).
Good luck I hope you get that 360 in there. They are a litle sluggish stock but if you time them by ear instead of with the timming pin they run real nice and ofcause this is in a much heavyer vehicle that pushes a lot more wind. More power can be had just as easaly as with a 12v cummins but the bottom end is much stronger. And as tou surmised should be about the same as swapping a 6bt in there. I've always wanted to do this to my truck just never had the opretunety to get a DT360 or the space to do the swap. Its a very reliable engine besides the fact if you wanted to you could put out enough power to outrun a fully built duramax or cummins.
