Just had a sweet day I want like 600 daily and possible competition maybe this truck should be a daily not a comp truck. Im a wrench turner not a millionaire how hard is it to get 600 out of a 6.6 vs 360 ? Abd is the 360. A stronger block I'd compete for only exhibition the more I look at it class competition cost a fortune I don't have

It takes just as much to pull that power from either a 6.6 or a 360. The catch being, the 6.6 is just as long as a DT466, which is about 5" longer than a 360. The 360 will be the easiest to fit.

Wow, I'm shocked you know Frank's truck.
That truck has 2 big turbos, LOTS of fuel flowing, fire ringed head I'm pretty sure, and looks like water injection. The trans & transfer are probably specialty pulling parts(a reverser and a drop box). His is in no category of fuel economy. Not hardly streetable.

Keeping it squirrely 2WD, not that that's a bad thing.
Ya know Aaron, I was actually taken back by your first post, about the Dmax. Thinking to myself, "here's a guy with a name like BuiltIHtuff, and he wants a Dmax". I believe you have been shown the light now. Not that I'm a Cummins, Dmax, or Powerstroke hater!
One of the guys on my Low Buck page actually corrected my thinking on injectors. Apparently the 7 hole injectors burn cleaner than the 5 hole that I recommended. So, a 7X14 is the magic ticket. In case I lost you, that's 7 holes with .014" opening per hole.

If my wife worked, or didnt spend so much, I could be driving my DT466'd Super Duty right now. At least I think I make a decent wage. Just wish I had this job back when I was single. Back then, I was a Napa parts guy for $7 an hour. Here's a competition build related pic. It's a 76 Dodge Colt on an 83 S10 frame....a boonie basher.

I built it after getting out of the Army, while I was unemployed. I made good use of my free time. That Dodge made it on the "rear view photo of the month" in the October 1995 issue of Fourwheeler magazine.
Anyway... You should be able to find come badges easily enuf. Plus, you may just want to find a place to make a kustom one.
