Has anyone done this? Just curious.

 

Does this count?

i dont think that would quite count. thats more than a super duty.

i havent seen it im trying to think of the size differnces between the two. makebe i will have to go look at my buddies 4400 Lopro that has it in it.

im looking to buy a 4400 soon nice having more stopping capacity and larger cab for some more room, the full air ride and air ride seats make the run up the I-5 much better. i think the biggest thing with the dt466 would be the bell housing. would have to custom build the 6 speed to fit or mate up the allison 2000, or a roadrunner 7 speed???? hmmmm

 

Id like to see it but the engine is HUGE!! I doubt it would fit. Im almost certain of it. Although im sure someone w/ alot of money and patience can do just about anything.

 

ok i went and looked at my buddies truck, that would be one interesting hood for it to fit under like IT said its huge and i didnt realize how tall it is.

 

Oh well, I was hoping that someone had done it and then they could really make the D*dge boys envy!

 

It would fit in a F650 or so. I wouldnt get the new 24 valve DT(313) just yet as they are having some issues. Id stick w/ the 308 version. Boy i wish itd fit but oh well.

 

I have seen pics of a 8.3 Cummins in a 96 F250. I wouldn't think a 466 is bigger then the 8.3. Anyone know for sure which one is larger?

 

The DT is larger than the Cummins.

 

Here are some dimentions (inches) for comparison sake, from IH & Cummins.
T444e .................DT466.............B5.9.............C8.3
L=36 ...................L=45...............L=40........ .....L=45
W=30...................W=30..............W=25..... .......W=30
H=36....................H= 41..............H=38.............H=43
Dry# 930..............Dry# 1425......Wet# 952-997..........Wet#1360

 

yeah 496cubes equals 8.1 liters and 7.5 equals 460 cubes then a dt466 would be about 7.7 or 7.6

 

Yeah we aren't talking about displacement, we're talking about external physical dimensions.

 

International Tech, is it a lot larger? Another thing I just thought about, that truck had about a 3" cowl hood on it, I assume for clearence. That would work on the old trucks, but since a good bit of the Super Duty's engine compartment is under the cowl, the only way to gain that clearence would be a body lift.

 

i dont know if the dana 60 would be able to handle another 500 lbs....need a front axle upgrade...hmm new sled tugger.....have alot more room for twin turbo in the i-6....

 

From the chart above the dt466 is 9 inches longer, there is not 9 inches to spare, I think you would have to cut the firewall and make a removable tunnel for clearance and you would have to do something about the hieght too.
