Solution to a Problem, Part One
No, i am not destroking.....
For a few weeks now (even before my engine threw a rod) i have been working out a deal on buying a 99 f-350 with a built engine in it, plans to put it in my truck this winter, drop in and go kind of deal, alot faster to do than a Commonrail conversion. I was really turned away from that whole concept after listening to one of my buddy's straight piped 06, sounded like *** to me, however not all of them sound like that.
Here are some pictures. Yes it is a little rough, has had some body accidents that can mostly be fixed with a new bed and tailgate.... However it is a purpose built pulling truck. I bought the truck just for the engine, he has more under the hood alone than i paid for the truck..

not trying to spill the beans, it is going into his truck this winter. is going to put glow plugs and an air filter on it and try and drive it. it doesnt start when cold without ether. the non intercooler deal is new to me, but have to say. its quick!

That's a sweet looking motor Kris. Will you be swapping some suspension parts and those massive springs as well?
Out of curiosity, does the red truck still have the ZF in it? I wonder how much building up of the tranny was required to hold those horses.
