DT360 swap.

[86ford69jw]

Looking at more options for engine swaps. Talked to a buddie who is thinking about doing a DT360. Called local diesel shop to see if they wanted to do it. Lol he said hell no your crazy.
What y'all think about this????

It's been done... Cool swap but unless you have say 20K in your back pocket you're not going to get a shop to do it for you.

If youre gonna go through all the trouble to drop a DT in it,why go underpowered?drop a dt530 in it.

 

[86ford69jw]

Never looked into that. Will do. I know a 360 is a tight fit.

Well the 466 and 530s seem a lil big. Going for a mechanical 350 with a P pump.

Isn't the DT360 an extra beefy 12v Cummins?

 

[86ford69jw]

I do belive so. I was told with the right tuning they can reach 3500hp!!!!

Essentially International's version and it is way way stouter than a 12v...

I know I've seen the comparison before, but I can't remember.
Engine dimensions of 6bt vs dt360?

DT is taller... Requires a body lift or custom cross member and a solid axle IIRC
