Hey thank you, I appreciate the support! Im hoping to have it to the 95% complete mark by a June 17, which is when our local town car show is, so the race is on a bit.

Its been a bit since I last updated. I have taken the truck on a test run. it went really good. The S300 really has some go to it. The smoke issue still shows up right at start up, but will go away when hot, so one day in the future the engine will need a rebuild, but not for now. I am having...

Hello, Can someone direct me to a place to get a 4" downpipe for an S300 with the Ag/Marmon exhaust flange? I need a 90degree right off the flange to fit my swap. Dont care about stainless. I can live with just the 90degree and some straight pipe but a full downpipe would be better. Going on...

Wow, I didnt realize its been 7 months since I checked in on this and the mods must have thought I gave up on my old thread. So I guess I have some updates, not as many as you would think but some. When I left off I had $1,442 in this project and I had just bought another intercool and AC...

So I found a used HE315 for dirt cheap and thought I would take a stab at it. I've seen most recommend an HX40 for a DT466 but the HE351 seems to be all the rage right now. Eventually I want to go compounds, because I don't think there is a single turbo that'll give me the drivability as a...

What's the maximum distance I can place my intercooler in front of my radiator? Right now its looking like 2.5-3" away is the closest I can get it. Do I need to build a shroud around the intercooler to help direct air through the radiator? I plan on shrouding the radiator to the fan already...

So Im ramping up my search for a turbo for my DT466. Ive been thinking about a S366 not the sxe style (out of my price range) But I ran across that the 8.3L cummins have an HX40 with an 18 or 16cm housing. I have also seen H1E off of 8.3L but cant find much on them. Is a HX40 with a 18cm...

Hey All, Im needing some help on turning the fuel up on my 80s something DT466 and I have a few questions. On the back of my MW pump, Ive removed the two screws and the cover, and underneath is a rod, nut, and plate. The youtube videos Ive seen dont show the plate. The rod and plate all spin...

Hello All, I'm a member an several different forums (redpowermagazine, OldIHC, powerstroke.org, and some others I can't remember) but somehow ended up here. I don't have much better to do with my time so I figured I would start a build thread. One day I would like to start a youtube channel for...

Does it matter how an intercooler is mounted? Can I take a horizontal intercooler and turn it 90degrees and run it vertical? Having a hard time finding an intercooler to fit my project. Thanks

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade my turbo for my mid '80s DT466. I have the MW pump turned up with the fuel screw and governor backed off. Currently adding a intercooler. Spicer 5sp with 2speed rear. (all this is going into my 1948 International KB11, but thats another story) Im looking for...
