    odd ball build time!

    White-Hercules DT3.7 Series I. I'm in the process of installing one in a '68 CJ5. I picked up two of them complete from fan to transmission(T19) for about 2/3 the cost of the cheapest 4BT I could find. They're cheap. Supposedly ~125 lb lighter than 4BT. The ones I have were in early '80s...

    small diesel question.Jeep related

    Your sick buddy and I think alike. I'm currently building a 2WD '68 CJ5 with a Hercules 3.7. This one came out of an '83 Ford stepvan. It has a close ratio T19 behind it. I'm going to use that and keep an eye out for a M5R2. The Herc in current form will bolt to any trans setup for SB Ford...

    Freeze-12 Question?

    I just did some garage cleaning at my folks place and found 2 of the 14 oz cans of R-12, a 30 lb container of R-12, and a 30 lb of R-22. I guess I should get rid of this stuff since I have no use for it. Ken

    Can you put one of these engines in a P-30 step van?

    The IH spec 6.9/7.3 IDI have SAE #2 flywheel housings. Ken

    Considering these tires...here

    I'd like a set of XZL 255/100R16(9.00R16), tend to be spendy though. Ken

    talking with Banks rep today

    Intercooling makes a positive difference. It's just that the difference it can make depends on now much the intake charge is being heated up. The more the intake charge is compressed, the more it heats up. So the potential of what an intercooler can achieve goes up as boost goes up. Low...

    Icanfixitall, where you are? International CGES-435-1 Book

    I have CTS-4231 vol 2(S-series IH trucks) which contains CGES-345 which is the manual for the Stanadyne DB2 for IH 6.9. So I imagine one could likewise find a CGES-475 inside an IH truck service manual. These manuals may be easier to source than searching specifically for CGES-475. I bought...

    turbo camshaft?

    There's also simply less to work with. Compare how much room there is between valve and piston at TDC in these IDIs and then compare to a gasser. Old gassers were not uncommon to be non-interference engines from OEM so there was a lot to work with. How soon and fast the intake valve...

    long haul..Im in luv with a van!!

    Another van convert eh? My first vehicle was a '72 Chev van back when I was 14(Kansas). Drove it, used it, abused it for 4 years. I really liked it. Fast forward many years later and I'm back in a van, an '87 E350 4x4. I'm wanting to dieselize it but it runs so nice as is right now I'm...

    Tire Talk...

    I have a set of Cooper Discoverer S/T in 255/85R16 on my 4x4 E350. I like them alot. They are not a mudder but they are probably a bit more agressive than what you're after. I have read of the Toyo M55 in this size being a very long lived tire for gravel road use, perhaps this would...

    Good news and bad...

    Thanks Diesel Fly, it's now clear. Terms as well. Those were new uses of 'header' and 'bundle' for me. I'm working on the engine bit. I just sold my '85 F250 with 6.9. I decided it was better to sell as a runner than part it out. The 6.9 seems to be an easily found and for very...

    Good news and bad...

    Due to block differences or the motor mounts or some such? I ask because I've been pondering swapping a 6.9 into my '97 E350 where a 351W currently resides. It's obviously much easier to get truck engines than van engines. I was hoping to be able to just procure a van oil cooler to swap...
