I havent seen one diesel yet to run with either of these trucks and thats with the help of a turbo. Now if you'd like me to post some vids of forced induction nitromethane rails I can but that means you need to step up the quality of your diesel vids also.

Well, I was going to say all the videos I've seen of diesel trucks in mud blow. No throttle response, don't build power quick enough, too much weight, etc. The video's posted of dizzle trucks prove the point, they can't hang.

Diesel+mud blows, That red chevy was pretty cool but in general diesels cant hang like paul said. That diesel rail car posted was a joke, and that idi on daves farm didn't do anything impressive. It had a hard bottom for sure. An idi in real mud don't move far, even with cut 38.5 tsl's
This mud was pretty impressive though....

^^^^werd.
like i said before, needs to build boost to get wheel speed, and by that time you are already nose deep in the sticky stuff. high rpm=wheelspeed=movement for the most part. diesels just aren't the right tool for the job. i'd trail ride the **** out of one though.

The pic I posted is a little misleading, It looks like I did pretty well but there was a hard bottom under the the deep thick "man made mud" and the only reason I did ok there was because of the weight and the hard bottom. Here's another pic of a spot that gas motored trucks ran all day and I ended up needing alota winch to get me out. Two trucks yankin on me couldn't budge me backwards. This was also with my 38.5's
I'd take my 302 in a smaller fullsize truck anyday!

Where do you live? 460s are fairly common in SC
A460 blocks are in the $2200 range plus shipping and final machine work.
Carol Carter aluminum blocks are in the $4000 range.
Not saying you cant afford either option -the a460 would be a good choice for a strictly mud truck with juice -but I dont think youre going to spend that kind of money.
Parts options depend on budget. If going with a stroker you can buy assembled short blocks for roughly $200 more than assembling them yourself with your parts. - figured this out the hard way.
