That video is familiar...

 

I posted it on a few other forums such as teamaggression and minnesotamud. It was taken at a small run in holcombe wisconsin.

 

I was there

 

You were at holcombe when i had the gmc there? Ive met too many people at runs so i tend to forget. My buddy dave had the red fiero.

 

I gotta say I would not mind seeing a ford motor goin a chevy instead of the other way around like I always see.

 

Rob,
Its not hard to find 250s around here but D60s are next to impossible.



I just dont see the "cool factor" in using a Ford motor in a Chevy.

 

Neither do i... i HATE seeing chevy engines in a ford or vise versea its just not my cup of tea i suppose

 

x 3 sounds like a waste of a good Ford motor

 

the only real engine swap I can think of that I condone would be a Cummings swap in pretty much any make or something like a 302 or 350 swap into an MG Midget or Mini Cooper. I guess a 350 in a Toyota truck is ok too.


My point is Ford Chebby and Dodge have good motors that are all pretty much readily available and reasonably priced to build. The cost of putting a 460 you already have in a Chebby would probably be more expensive and headache than buying a running, junk yard, 454.


To each their own I guess.

 

i think everyone should swap I6's into any and everything. 300 straight six bII would be pretty cool imho, i just don't like small blocks.

 

I agree with everything you wrote except for that "g" on the end of cummins. Unless you were being Facetious and dont condone a cummins swap into anything, then I understand your intentional g on the end of cummins.

 

i feel putting a cummings engine in anything with wheels and claiming you have tha best gold plated whatever is on the same lines as putting a chebby engien in anything with wheels.

there are way better engines than a cummings 6BT
the international DT360 being one of them

 

How about if you put a cummins engine in anything with wheels but dont claim to have the best gold plated whatever. Where does that fall?

 

i just don't see the hype behind the cummins.
the DT360 is a much better engine.
makes the same power, weighs about the came, and costs way less to buy.
they are a little harder to find, but they are still out there.

i had the misfortune to have 4 ford F650's with the 6BT engine in them at the last job. 3 with automatics, and one with a 6 speed and 2 speed rear.
the only one worth driving was the stick truck, and you needed all 12 gears to keep up with traffic with 1200 gallons of tack oil in the tank.
the same size internationals with the DT360 engines would walk all over the cummins powered fords. none of the fords had over 25k miles on them, and all of the internationals had over 100k miles on them.

 

personally I think i will stick with my T444E international.
