Lost in time
Navistar casts the new blocks for AM General(the hummer people). I think that's the extent of the affiliation. Penisular diesel makes a twin turbo 400 hp package...

It will get new sheet metal, bed and a new power plant. She will also recieve a new manual tranny! Do you know if the new six speed will bolt up to the 6.5 or not?
What do you think of Pennsular's twin set? Think your single setup would work just as well? Did you have to do any extreme mods to get the turbo to fit or was it pretty much a bolt on thing? I'm just looking for something different and pretty powerful! My truck now only put down 194RWHP stock and I love the power it has for a daily driver!
The other question I have is does anyone make a clutch for these trucks or not to hold that much power? Do you think your motor could have been leaking off coolant causing you to run such high water temps? Did it have the low compression pistons in it when it was doing this? Last question for now is what type of boost were you seeing and with what compression ratio? Just doing as much research as I can before I start this thing!
