Lunatic Fringe is one bad truck, prolly the 2nd highest powered 7.3 at 1500+ hp, god knows what it's at now, but I can say this, there is no 6.4, 6.7 or 6.0 even near his power level on fuel only.... That DT466 he built was basically a super farm engine with two chargers lol..

But God what a pull and an engine. Said it scared them.

elrodalexander73 · Jun 18, 2015

Yeah super farm engines are no joke, they're allowed in certain classes up to 640 cubic inches on a 3x3 turbo, I work on a few trucks for Cranford Jennings, he had the baddest DT466 in 2013 with the NTPA Championship, 9300lb super farm, 8000 series Bosch pump that delivers 1600cc of fuel, let me say it again, 1600cc of fuel lol..

Magnum PD · Jun 18, 2015

And we think we got something with 400cc's of fuel.

You could use a ZF6 for a while if you wanted to I would think.

Pretty sure he's got an account on here. If I'm thinking about the right person he's based out of the state college area. We tried to get him to come up our way last year but there was some iffy weather and no definitive answer on whether cut tires were allowed or not, so he ended up not coming.

Actually I found the thread. It's got a 7.3 now. http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53102

Yuppers Power Snorter!!! It takes alot of dough to put on a show like they do, keep haggling, he'll come out if the timing is right, would love to see it pull down here in Middle Tenn!!

Has anyone ever done either a 360 or a 466 swap into an OBS? I'm doing some research to find out if anyone's done a 466 swap or if it's even possible. If anyone has any info would be much appreciated! I'd be looking to do a mechanical 466 swap in my '95

I am putting a DT360 in A OBS right now what do you need to know?

Basically what he said. I'm just curious what my driveline options would be, as well I'm
Also curious about what it takes to fit and mount a 360 in an OBS. I actually
Literally have a million questions but I'm just trying to find out the basic answers and then go from there.

Fosterchild23 · Jun 22, 2015

Would you mind starting a build thread or sharing some pictures? That would be awesome to see!

Merc460 · Jun 22, 2015

Fire wall was pushed back , Trans is a heavily modded E40D using a stafford adapter plate
I am running electric fans. Still a long way to go, but hey its only been a year and a half lol

Fosterchild23 · Jun 23, 2015

That's looks amazing so far. Although it's making me realize what a big undertaking a swap like that is... I should really build my garage first before I get carried away lol

Dieselboy · Jun 25, 2015

How much did you have to push the firewall back? I'm pulling the dt360 from my 4700 to put in a dt466/ mt643. So I'll have the 360 kicking around...

Merc460 · Jun 25, 2015

Just enough to remove the valve cover lol . It was more of a feel thing than an exact measurement but no more than a couple of inches.
