Russrepair.com has a torque cam
I'm no hot-rodder but you could probably find a mechanical DT466 for less than you'll ever rebuild an IDIT for and fuel delivery increases involve like a star drive or allen wrench and 10 minutes lol. Plus it's already a medium duty engine, and will have the bellhousing to fit a heavy duty transmission to pull your dozer and heavy trailer.Thanks Wes. Will the IDIT engine last at that level for a decent amount of time? What kind of water to air intercooled boost level is required on the IDIT to get to see 350hp and 750 lb-ft of torque? Are you planning on offering a camshaft for this engine or is R&D IDI the only source for an aftermarket cam for the 7.3? Nothing against Justin just want to know. I have one of his IP's a 90cc that I'm going to transfer over to the 7.3 IDI that's in the garage. It's kind of funny I put that on the 7.3 IDIT finally got the turbo work all done and got it running. Unfortunately the turbo I bought, which was sold to me as a direct replacement, was WAY too big and will produce all of 5-7psi of boost full throttle under load. After one of return lines cracked and then the twins arrived yadda yadda we bought a MegaCab (I know boohiss) and I haven't even popped the hood on the truck in at least 3 years. We bought a TD-6 dozer which is why I'm looking at the F600 because I would like to start a side hustle with the dozer and having a dump truck would be handy for both hauling the dozer and moving gravel or anything need for fixing roads and the other stuff people hire you to do with a dozer. I like the 429 engine and building one into a beast for something sounds fun but buying the gas for one in a dumptruck does not hence the plan for pulling the gas and putting in the 7.3 IDIT. Plus a decent IP and a good turbo and that engine should outperform the factory gas options pretty easily.

Along with the boohissing mega cab didn't ford sell f600s with a cummins stock? I know they did with later f550s?
Now I'm curious, why intentionally underpower an f 600?
The thing is screaming for a med duty powerplant...
Even better. I guess this should stop all of the transmission talk. Personally, I want to see you do it.The 7.3 IDI non turbo engine came with the transmission from a S1600 or S1800 IH truck so not worried about that part of the build.
