Yes! Manifold bolts and oil coolers are probably the least problematic parts on an ISX. Until a rod knocks the cooler off which is never good.

Only because the sled can’t stop those euro motors. Especially if you get your Volvo tuned for the turbo buy a euro tuner. Hell Leiffi’s truck will run daylight to dark in 4hrs.

Technically it's not the right truck, but what the movie truck was made to look like if I read correctly. Claimed it was actually a 281 modified to be a 351.

That was as exciting as watching antique tractors pull. Must be one of those euro spec C18’s you talk about.

Yeah, I wouldn't be bragging about winning that. If that's what your trucks pull they have a long way to go before getting compared to American trucks. Average sled setting around here that I see is every weight in/on the sled, at least 80k lbs. Twice the chain length. And the box topped by 150-200' mark, with the pan dropped by 250' at absolute latest. I've even seen them add chains to the front of the sled to get drug underneath it for more resistance, at the local county fair brush pull. Just street trucks, not even any competition guys.

So your euro tuners can’t get an engine to run?
Better leave it to the US tuners then. OEM 70pin Cat ecm, Cat fuel system.
