[mlez]

this truck is more reliable than a brand new one

Nice, I just bought one in a warehouse sale. It’s a rebuilt General Motors Detroit diesel.

Nice and i really like that turbo application!!! I'd look for an old Clark 5 spd!

Years ago there was a guy in my area who put a 3/71 and 10 speed in a similar vintage Ford. It was way cool!!

Sounds like a good ol' diesel to me!

Did you do this yourself? Looking for someone to swap a Detroit into my 74 350

What's going on with the exhaust manifold and turbo? From what I can see it looks like you reversed the manifold and adapted the turbo?

[False_Death]

What are your highways speeds at? Also did you need to do something with gear ratio to allow this truck to have normal highway speeds?

[outdoorexplorationgear]

turned out nice, Cody! are you going to put a fan on it?

[freefuel]

What the hell why do these swaps never seem to incorporate a charge cooler?
