tim-
everything has a price:D
both are rotary pump trucks so there won't be any smoky burnouts in the Taco Bell parking lot with a SO having ringside seats:eek:
still, if nothing else, I have a backup with 195k on the odo if I blow this one up:D
I didn't realize that engine had 195K....I thought it was a super-low-mileage truck for whatever reason.

And, I might have to try and find a way to come up with the $$ :shocked: I love my IDI, but I've been wanting a Cummins since I was 13...if it wasn't for the emotional attachment I have to my truck, I'd probably have a Dodge by now...although, surprisingly, I'm more interested in economy and longevity than power. I don't need to be doing donuts in the Taco Bell parking lot :D ;Poke :rotflmao

The Cummins bug's been chewing on me for about 16 years now, but in the last 48 hours, it's not so much gone into overdrive as to hyperdrive :shocked: I'm going to have to talk to Calvin and see how much he'd want for the spare engine, and then see if I can cobble the $$ together.

Forgive me, Mel and the IDI gods, for I am considering committing a sin... :shocked:

There's a joke in there, Goat Swap chewing on the Warden:D, get it, goats chew on everything and...........aww, forget it.;p

Anyways, it's like argve said, "once you go goat, you'll never go back."

I loved my goat truck, prolly should've kept it. The wife liked it. Just wished it was an intercooled model.

If you need a new head assembly, I have one in the garage.

BAAAAAAAAAAALOL Follow us into the land flowing with compound twins and axle breaking torque.

have your dad check out "destroked" website:D
they also have a oil filter relocation kit that is a real plus from the nightmare spot where it currently is.

I just took a look myself...sweet videos -Drool but the price for the adapter plate about gave me a heart attack! I knew they weren't exactly cheap, but didn't realize they were that much, either. For some reason, I had had the impression that the entire setup (adapter plates, engine mounts, etc) was more in the $500 range.

Well, one more obstacle that I need to try and (hopefully) overcome...here's to hoping I can dig up the $$ somehow...

Kitten,

that looks pretty good.... the seats bring back memories of my old Ramcharger... same set up as what's up front.... Boy she does look good..... and it's intercooled..... Only thing I see that needs changed is the slush box tranny but other than that she is a runner....
