Who else is looking for a DT360?

[cetanefreek]

only about tenfold, it's like having a 5.9 cummins except better.

theres one on nashville or west ky c list for 350 if you go pull it out! you can hear it run an everything. how hard would it be to swap it?

 

[Clydesdale]

if you took the trans as well, then ran a divorced 205, be pretty simple, welding fabbing mounts, its a 3 wire motor like a 6.9/7.3...
Heard a rumor (read it here?) all IH v-8's have a SAE2 pattern, IF a 360 is SAE 2, and IF the IH pattern the adapter plate on a 6.9 bolts to is SAE 2, well, you have your trans solution.

I would run the Allison (assumption, common trans choice) behind the DT alacarte, unless it were junk.

 

[93f250idi]

thanks man ill check into that an c what i kind find about the pattern

 

[cetanefreek]

well scoot on down there, pull it out, and sell it to me for $500!

 

[93f250idi]

ok ill c what i can do but your in idaho?? haha with shipping i wont make nothing haha

I thought 6.9 and 7.3 were SAE3, and I thought the DT's were the same. That the snag was to do with custom clutches etc and that the adapter plate may not bolt up to a DT.

 

[cetanefreek]

yeah but I'll get a really good deal! hahaha, that's the only thing that has stopped me on the last couple that I've found, getting them here would kill me.

well thats not totally true, I found one 20 miles from here.... for $3500.... hmmm.... pass.

 

[93f250idi]

ya for 350 i may go get it anyway an c how hard it will be to put it in my truck. will it sound like a cummins with a straight pipe?

 

[cetanefreek]

IMHO they sound a bit better than the cummins, and I'm a cummins guy.

 

[93f250idi]

sweet!! he said 500 if he pulled it out i think im gonna count my pennies and go get it haha

 

[TWeatherford]

I can't find it on craigslist... you shouldn't have told me about it. If you don't want it I might go after it.

 

[smolkin]

I want one now too...but I don't think my truck's body is good enough to justify that kind of swap. Every 360 I've seen down here was going for $2000+ any way, even used.

Oh yeah, check out this vid I just found...may help to answer the sound question...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpXmeqTaUM

That is a smoking deal for that 360. I am still debating putting one in my 86 instead of the PSD but all the deals are so far away and the trans adapter plate is a small fortune

And i found out i cant use my 86 cluster with the powerstroke

 

[93f250idi]

i cant seem to find it anymore either i have it saved as a favorite at my dads house ill try to get over there tamar an get the link.
