Everyone is more than welcome to come take a look! All I gotta pull is the tranny and she is ready. I will hopefully be starting the cummins disassembly soon enough. The injectors need to go out and the rods will go out for shotpeening and cryo. The Pistons will be ceramic coated on top and teflon coating on the sideskirts.

I look the carbonfiber look!
What's the color scheme of the new powerplant?

Might have to make a trip there some weekend and watch you turn wrenches.

I am not sure on the color yet. I think the block will be cummins beige. I haven't made a decision on the engine cover. I think I am gonna just machine a plate and do a custom design.. or maybe the King Ranch "W"

There was a guy on PSN that put an International DT360 in his truck. Supposedly in stock form they are good to well over 1000hp.I know a lot of guys that run them in pulling tractors running that kind of hp, don't know if they're completely stock.

My dad knew a guy, the west coast rep for John Deere had a Deere diesel in his pickup, I think in the 80's, pretty impressive pull for his 5th wheel
