Thanks for the response.<o></o>
When I had the trans rebuild I had the 5th gear is an overdrive.<o></o>
This what I am trying to do <o></o>
I have 2 1/2 ton military axles with 6.72 gear ratio.<o></o>
Have to keep diesel, because of vehicle reg in jersey.<o></o>
Would like to do 65 on high way.<o></o>
What diesel do you think I should use?<o></o>

Do you know what % overdrive you have?What size tires are you running?
Figure road speed by RPM X 60 devided by tire revs per mile devided by trans overdrive % devided by rear ratio
In a lot of cases a V series diesel turn more RPM than an inline

Will be using XZL’s around 45’s
For the overdrive ratio I will check
If I go to a V8 I would like to use a 7.3, because of all the aftermarket HI pro parts
What V8 would be best to use

You might be able to mate the Clark 285V to the version of the 7.3 that was used in the International mediums. You might also want to look into the Cat 3208 or even something like a Detroit 6V53 to get the engine revs you want with that rear end ratio.

I'll second that!!!!! Good motors as long as you kept a spare gallon or two of oil in the cab.
