Which way should i take this?
I want to put it in a 1/2 ton, wich I am going to gut, use the body, and weld a custom frame, design custom steering and suspension, and basically the radiator will be in the box. along with the batteries, windshield washer jug, air filters, etc.
All i want under the hood is the engine, and the accessory belt, with alt, and water pump and steering, and possibly ac, but no fan.
Possible install an electric fan with a temp activated control in case of getting hot while operating stationary.(like for the engine bay to not overheat.)
You could get it all to work like that in a custom chassis, like a drag truck setup.
Keep in mind though, you will likely need to have the pump calibrated to make the kind of flow you need. A sled puller guy once told me he makes around 700hp for really cheap. Plus, he says the IH DT lineup is stout enough to take a hard pull like that to 4500 rpm without flying apart. Meaning, 4500 on all stock IH internals, no fancy studs or bolts on the crank.
