BIG DAVE
OILBURNER FOR LIFE!
i was wonderin if eneyone had the specs(how long, how wind, how tall) on the DT360. know that with ALOT of work we can put the DT466 in a pick up, but what about the DT360
that is the one i've been eyeballing also. lets get the info and maybe hp/tq specs stock and modded. any of you guys tried to warm up a dt360?
Shop around and pick one up. If the 466 can be done, a 360 will definately go in. Also, since it's close in size to a 6BT, the guidelines for the DT swap should be similar.
yeah i found a build on powerstroke nation he mated it with a e4od i was thinkin nv4500 and the t-case thats in my truck
Given the amount of broken 4500's I've seen behind 6BT's, I'd say it's a crap shoot on which one would hold up longer behind an even stronger engine.
Might want to look into a Spicer 6 or 7 speed out of medium and heavy trucks to put into it if you're going to push it.
I just read that whole thread, and I see one problem with a 360 going into our style trucks: firewall clearance. A 6BT takes a fair bit of firewall 'massaging' to fit into these trucks, and with that one being longer, plus with the v-pulleys and long waterpump snout, things will get really tight. But, I guess there is only one way to find out, so someone will have to try it at some point.
I'd take on a swap like this, but I'm sick of building up I6 diesels in pickups, breaking tons of parts, then getting rid of them for the sake of daily transporation, and staying out of bankruptcy lol. Instead, I'm just going to tinker with a 7.3 IDI, and build it up.
