one word of advice is to ignore the bullstuff that gets you fired up cause there are too many people on here that sit around waiting for threads like this to team up on frustrated people. im excited to see what unfolds with this truck. though you also need to keep in mind that most people on here aren't going to agree to a consensus about something if its wrong or ill information, they are just trying to help. sometimes it seems like people are trying a little too hard to make you feel like you don't know what youre talking about, but take the information for what it is when you have multiple people saying the same thing.
I agree with you, im not a huge fan of these forums either, it seems to be more of a hangout for keyboard warriors that feel like close friends to everyone on here when they have never even seen each others faces, but nonetheless a vast source of knowledge and information.
ill be checkin on this thread a lot, get started on some pics mane
also, start small. think about power after the truck is complete and ready to drive. way less stress and way less problems. you'll find out step by step what parts will stand up to further increased dt466 power levels.

I can guarantee you that this is not a forum of keyboard warriors. I have made the rounds (Diesel Bombers, Cummins Forum, and then here), and I can tell you that these guys are real. Most meet up several times a year at events, so yeah, they've seen each others' faces.
There is a ton of knowledge on this forum, don't throw it all away for trying to retain your own pride. If these guys seems like dicks, it's because these threads are not rare occurrences. Sure, you have those guys that come on here and run their mouth spouting out what they dreamed last night, and never take action on it. And then there are those that do TONS of research, even buy donor trucks and parts, but still never complete the swap (reference the thread that I think WUnderwood linked to). Most of the guys posting here have just posted the truth; the trouble you will run into and the better options you have. Wouldn't they be bigger dicks for letting you run into something without knowing the setbacks you will face? $.02
After saying all that, the swap has been done before and I wish you the best of luck. Subscribed.
