Putting a 466 in a light duty truck? Are you mad? Do you know how much a 466 weighs?
I guess you didn't see the guy with a c series Cummins in a Ford pickup? His name was c-seriesman or something. There are pictures on turbodieselregister. Last I saw, the truck was on ebay.

I'm going to be putting farm diesel in it which is about 50 cents cheaper a gallon.
You get caught with that in this state, and the fine is $25 per gallon of capacity, even if you only have two gallons in your 40 gallon tank, you get the fine for 40 gallons.

Yeah, I know about the fine but so far nobody around here has ever had their tanks checked. The neighbor has been running off road diesel in his Dodge for around 15 years now and has been pulled over numerous times, even by the weighmaster and they never look. His truck even has the farm name on the door. Now with semi's and grain trucks they check every one, but to bypass that you add a little used motor oil to the fuel to make it black and they can't prove a thing.
Those are some sweet pictures of the trucks with the 8.3 and the 466. I think those engines are great but that is still, in my opinion, too much for a light duty truck. But regardless of my opinion, it's still cool to see.

What is the quickest way to turn diesel fuel into noise?
Put it in a Detroit.

I'm getting ready to do a 12v swap into my f250 in the next couple of weeks as I've just recently swapped the TTB front axle for a dana 60 a couple of weeks ago.
Around here you get fined too but dont know why. The only difference in "offroad" diesel is the red dye they put in it so what is the big the deal anyways. My uncle borrowed my dads truck a few months ago and filled it with offroad diesel at the co-op cause he is always looking for a cheap way out my dad was ticked off and told him if he got caught my uncle was paying the fine.
The big deal between red dyed off road fuel and the on road fuel is the amount of tax that is on it. The off road fuel does not have the "road tax" added into the cost of it. The reason the government gets so pissy and feels they need to fine you for it is becasue they aren't getting their cut. What I don't understand is why they dye the diesel fuel but not gas. We have been buying off road gas, or gas without the road tax, for years and we run it in everything. We had a C65 Chevy with a 427 in it and at 2-3mpg you could not afford to run anything else.
Now watch, due to the patriot act the government is reading this and now they are going to come busting in here and arrest me.
