Hello:

I live in Stratford and work in Stamford, CT.

I do intend to boost my van and the van already has 4wd and a fully welded custom receiver.

My fun is in how quickly I can hit 55 on the up-slope entrance ramp onto I-95.

Hopefully by the end of August I will have strengthen the transmission with an ATS 5-Star torque converter and billet input shaft for those two are a relatively quick slide out / slide in replacement items. At the moment I don't plan on doing a tear-down in order to change out the friction discs.

Once the drive-line can handle the torque, then I'll tackle the van coolling handicap.

Because I'm a van I know the engine compartment air flow is lacking and therefore very cramp to work in, so I'm considering a 2" body lift before attempting a plain 6.0 pickup truck mapping.

Next on my list is to install the MSD propane injection system, primarily for the cleaner burn and off-set in diesel fuel consumption and not so much for the raw power aspects. Along with the propane I intend to add methanol injection to suspress the inherent propane EGT's.

Hopefully the 2" body lift will be enough to facilitate pulling the heads to change out the studs and install fire-ring gaskets at a later time.

The turbo was changed out at about 15,000 mile for warrantee, I would like to change it for a towing turbo.

Finally once the heads & turbo are up-graded then I'll see if I can spin my tires.

I will keep the van streetable and will fore go the injectors, cam, pistons, etc.

Regards,
Dave
