12v with p7100 or 24 with vp44

[hugeredford]

I've got the chance to buy at auction a choice of 10 different 5.9's their thought to bring between $300 to $1000 for weak runners what do you think mechanical auto od allison or a 5-6 speed with an sae bell i'm going to look this weekend. I plan on a rebuild anyhow so the weak runner part doesn't bother me to much.

For easy of upgrades (more power) I would go for the 12v but if you want to have electronic controls then 24v would be it....

For those prices buy all of them.

There's been a bit of 5.9 talk around here lately in the IDI forum, which is interesting and all, but the Cummins forums are just down the hall a ways...

i'd buy one right now a 12v and put it in front of a zf6sp if i had the money then find a 95-97 dually 4X4 to put it in thats just me though

Then that's a good bargin on the 24's

Buy all the 12-valves and avoid the 24s = cheap computer-controlled crap.

A replacement P-pump will easily fetch more than those engines will bring.
