Probably getting paid at work to post this from my D1

 

[Redneck6.0L]

no where did i read he posted it includes labour, 3200+700 for shipping and truck, 1500 cp3 setup,s474 1200,s510 is 1800, nozzles 500, clutch to hold 1000, wate gate 500,fass pump 600,500 odds and ends for piping, do all the work your self, with dealer cost on parts and the grande total is 11 500, from what i understand its goin to be a bone stock motor no studs or anything, its not going to live forever, its just a couple guys trying to see if they can do it. good luck guys

:whs: I don't think this is going down in the reliability/streetability book LOL

 

[6.0Dually]

Good way to put it.

 

[Dustball8504]

Well put Shawn

 

[Dzchey21]

Some people are resource rich... cash poor. Others are the opposite. Some like myself have enough money to pay for parts. Lack the money for labor, but have the skills to do the labor my self.


I see where its going. I do feel the title is a bit misleading for someone who would want to go out and pay someone to do a build. This is a backyard scrounge what u can and make the best of it kinda build


Best of luck ...

Honestly these are my fav kinds of builds, this is where ingenuity comes out

10k is 10k, doesn't matter how he does it. Let's see the haters do the same......

Exactly, 1000 hp is the goal, 10k is the budget... good luck boys! Btw, a 6.4 for $3200 is a steal

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

Buy the truck from a company in Louisiana for $3200 with a blown oil cooler and 202,000 miles on it. Pay $700 to have it shipped. Fix engine and sell it for more then what the truck cost. Sell automatic transmission to buy airdog. Buy a 6.0 engine and manual tranny for $1500 that was taken out to swap in a cummins and have it shipped here from Oregon. Sell the running 6.0 motor to pay for the double disk clutch. Take the other 3 blown 6.4 motors sitting around the shop and make those into one running engine. Add fuel, lots of air, wastegates and some time on the dyno and see what the outcome is.

That is super complicated. LOL

Good luck with the build guys. Seeing how easily and cheap Craig got to 890 HP with his truck, I don't see it being a problem.

Not going to lie....I have sold quite a bit to pay for parts. If your on a tight budget, you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[morepower02]

Who has 3 blown 6.4's in the corner??? some one paid for them. The whole thing was just a little misleading. Good luck with your project.

 

[Craig@MFI]

You don't always need the most expensive parts to make good power

 

[jdgleason]

Hmm. Interested to see some results!

 

[derrick36]

Awesome idea.

i just see this as a personal build so the cost means nothing.

i see what erik is saying. you drive up and hand a bag of cash with 10k and want a 08-10 superduty TD to do 1000hp was a bit misleading like others had said, but im curious to see the outcome. good luck

 

[F250stroker08]

What size is the turbo?

 

[Smokin_Joe]

The title of the thread is not misleading. It's an interesting build to see how simple and cheap big power out of a 6.4 can be. Results will come soon.

Step one: massive amounts if fuel.

 

[derrick36]

Can we assume one of Jeremy's ported intakes will be on there?
Any upgrades to the heads?

 

[bigrpowr]

I plan on making more power and spending more , but I don't sell my parts usually. I think this is a cool project, I just wouldnt put a price tag limit on it , just let us know results and cost. I keep driveability as #1... I'm looking forward to this, although at that cost it probaly won't be pretty LOL good luck Jeremy.

 

[Tonka350]

this actually seems like a pretty legit build I do the same thing. I sell parts off to offest the cost of the build. by doing this I have 1200 dollars in the 2008 front end conversion on my truck ( with cervinis and aftermarket grille )....on to the project, what turbo setup, fuel setup are you doing on this truck? pretty excited to see the results.
