Dont let these guys push you into the cummins. We just need to find the cork thats keepin the IDI down and we'll make just as much power. Besides that, I think the IDI has more character. Build your IDI.

I do have to admit the staight six Nissan in my buddy's UD cabover rollback is pretty sweet. However parts are starting to be a down fall, it took 4 weeks to get a starter for it.

I'm not trying to be an ***, just saying it might be more cost effective to drop in a cummins. Are you going to steer clear of that cam and just have yours ground? Does a rebuild typically run $2500?

A moose IP for 1000$?

That's the price of a stock one here in Canada!


And Cummins is a great engine and all, but like oreocreaming, I'd take my IDI over anything else!

To bad they had to put such a great engine like a Cummins in such crappy trucks
