Grigg,

Did you add the turbochargers to the 6V-53 (which ones did you use?)


I have toyed with the idea of putting a 6V-53 in my 55 F-600.

With an over drive transmission and the 5.83:1(high range) 2 speed axle I would get around 2000 @ 60mph.

I have thought that the 6V might be a little too wide though. I really like the idea of using a 4-53T. They went all the way up to 200hp if I'm not mistaken.

A good friend of mine in Ca put a 4-53T in a 1 ton IHI truck with a huge service bed on it in the 70's. It had a 4 speed with a separate over drive. He claimed 15 mpg with it. He put over 400,000 miles on that thing!!!




Cheers,


Rick
