DT360 Excursion

[jimdawg185]

I have heard stories about the big cc 360's, sounds nasty!!!

Mets Machine has the hubs and the damper but the pulley is the challenge. Talk to Butch there, he is really knowledgeable!

Ooh, I like that billet valve cover!

 

[jimdawg185]

Yeah. But I think I can make my own. Oil pan, intake, everything straight custom!

So mets pulls their own IH 360?

I can talk to the guy machining my pump adapters for ya

 

[Viking]

I just saw the high school's graveyard today. I definitely need to talk to the right people!

 

[jimdawg185]

I had Carson make mine and my adapter. It will have to be custom, I don't think there is any way around this. The space between the crank and the trans is gonna be tough because of the large distance.

Up date?

Any ideas on mileage out of this setup? Is it easy to keep the A/C?

 

[jimdawg185]

I will be moving into my new shop next week, then the motor work should get finished. Ill post some pics when I can.

Corey is getting 15 or so in his dually.

There is a way to keep ac, just have to run an older v-belt pump. I will have ac in mine eventually

 

[jimdawg185]

WHS!

I am personally converting everything to serp because the Ex has rear air, but a v belt from a tractor or bus works great in any other application.

 

[UpstateDieselGuy]

Definitely serpentine belt if possible.

 

[powerstrokin15]

jim. get this done! LOL

 

[swamp_ratt]

The problem is the balancer is vbelt. You would have to do something totally different for a serpentine. Vbelts are perfectly fine

 

[jimdawg185]

Because of the high rpm that mine is running I had to go to an sfi damper anyway so I had my choice. Plus it saved me a couple of inches in the front. That v belt set up is huge!

Nothing wrong with the v belt set up either, and I think there is a lot more options out there with the v belt for ac and other ancillaries.
