It has a muffler,but it's what I would call a universal. If I remember right don't the ones with with a converter have little picking eyes on the top because of their weight? I don't have a computer to plug in, could I just hook a mechanical gauge in the manifold?
That's what I painted my 12V with. Looked good for about a year. Should last a long time with good prep (which I did not do)And some kitty love

Shoulda painted it cummins red lol
Its been sandblasted, sealed, based and topcoated
All parts blasted separate or after engine was put together? I assume the "sealant" stage was some sort of primer on the freshly blasted cast iron?
I wan to do the motor in my truck. But I want to take every belt, hose and wire off so that no paint gets where it shouldn't. But it will drive me nuts if any rust starts to shown through. Granted it only gets driven in the summer and not through the salt.
The common rail 3406 blocks are powder coat. They look as you said, wipe down = newI powdercoated mine. Fingerprints wipe off like glass. Did block, head, front structure, girdle, flywheel housing. Anything I thought would survive in the oven.

This brings up a good discussion, I just took my bare cummins block to be water jett'd to remove the factory powder coat. Do you guys have something you feel safe with using? Like the walnut shells?

The one cat sold to navistar
Some came out yellow, some came out black.
That is gorgeous! But requires a full tear down and removal from the truck. I'm not at that point yet. Ha ha
Mine will be done in the truck. Most likely just needle scaled where I can.

Fukk around...that's a bit more than a little.
You're not going to offer frame de-scaling as a service?

Just out of curiosity, do you know what it weighed complete?And to think this was a perfectly good truck before I tore it hell. Drove perfectly here from Denver CO, backed it in the shop and I tore it apart.
Day I picked it up.
Few days after I got back.
Anyone want these goofy ass wheels?
