Message: [QUOTE="Redrock2000, post: 1533728, member: 10253"] I picked 600 hp as a peak due to that was the number it seamed to be the breaking point for the rest of the drive train. Above that from what I've researched was a big jump in cost for the transmission. I appreciate y'alls input and agree that 550 is a better number for reliability on the stock rods. My plan was 250/100 with a s369 for the air and fuel if I found a decent deal on a used engine and built bottom on this engine over more time. I've tossed so many different combinations, dt360, Cummins with a ZF swap to get something started on the truck. But the lack of any diesel competition around me detoured anything like that. I will take it down our little 8th mile track here ever so often though. I don't tow anything heavy but would like to have that ability if the need ever came up. This is a ongoing " bucket list " project as I don't plan to ever get rid of the truck. I've built quite a few drag cars, hot rods and resto mods in my life and this will probably be my last real project who knows. I just want to do the best I can with the money available. Thanks again y'all for the info and Zeb if you ever come back through west Texas again let me know I'll put a brisket on the pit. [/QUOTE]
