That's a nice build, but the 466 harmonic balancer is just too big. I would rather just stick with v-belts. I do like his engine mount design.
I'll be looking into that rebuild kit. Mine is good, but I'll rebuild the spare and throw it on the shelf! Yeah glad Carson is close enough to have personally delivered my adaptor plate! Haha.
I have a local heavy diesel shop I made friends with, a head job is usually in the $350-400 range. Why do you need stiffer valve springs? I could see if you're running 5000 rpm....
I'm not sure. I don't see why they couldn't handle up to 3500ish. With all the towing I've done, I've never had to spin my idis or psd over 2900 rpm. I set the 466 to 3200 when it was on the dyno.
It's nice to see someone working to develop the power potential of these DT360's.
I don't plan on making four-digit HP figures (at least initially). But the reason I bought this engine is because if I want to, I can relatively easily (really just based on how much $ I want to throw at it).
How long did you drive that bus for? Did you ever have any problems with it? Was there anything you really liked about the engine? Conversely, did it have any annoying quirks?
After reading that super hatch one I feel like a hacker. Lol
If I had a cnc machine and a plasma table!
