If someone could give me exact dimensions I should be able to duplicate that, looks simple enough. Due to the compound angles a sample would be preferable to match it, but either way. Probably take a few days to get to.

According to specs, the ISB 5.9 24v cummins puts out varied torque numbers, I would highly recommend looking up the specifics of the engine that you have. The 4L80E is rated at 440ft-lb of input torque. The stock 6bt is about that, but the ISB 5.9 puts out considerably more torque on some of...

It would have been easier to find parts for that swap, but I think I have it sorted. The Spicer 3053A from the M35A2 is a SAE #3 bellhousing, the Spicer 6453 from the M54A1 is SAE #2 bellhousing, so it's a different hunt for parts, same book but different page. I think I have all the parts...

Another idea for using bolts is to use button top hex or phillips and just put filler over the top of the bolts to make them look like rivets, if you don't like that look in the future.

I prepped the motor and fired it up today, link is to video of the motor running. Don't mind the oil spots all over it, it was from me checking the oil pressure in the filter after cranking it a bunch of times.

What filament are you using? I have used mostly ABS for the better wear, and built a great enclosure which helps a ton on prints, I'm going to see about ordering some 0.6mm for my Ender 5 Plus for when I get around to it.

I've done my homework, for sure. Comparing the estimated/potential hp and torque output of this modified engine should have it well above the Mack, and better than the multifuel at bare stock. I've specifically built it for lower end power, so the 1400rpm stock torque band compared to the...

I would have preferred a transmission swap at the same time, but mine has a PTO w/ winch in the front, and it's a pretty large price jump for the project to do that as well. Is that a stock 6BT? How does it compare to the multifuel in pushing that truck around?

A stock 6BT has about 215hp at 2,500rmp and 420 torque at 1,600. You can push those motors to about 800-1k hp before you start to lose reliability. It has forged pistons, I've put the Hamilton 168/208 cam in it for slightly increased hp and because it increases the spooling of the turbo at...

I am getting ready to pull an ENDT 673C from an M54A1. It is in running condition but needs work, being sold as is and complete. Only thing I'm not selling with the engine is the power steering pump, for obvious reasons, aftermarket equipment for the truck, not part of the motor. When I did...

Finally back on my 5 ton project. Between buying some off-grid Az property and having a kid it's been sitting for a few years. Have my 6BT almost built, was wondering if anyone has any experience in swapping that with matching one up to the Spicer 6453 or close. I know it's the STD #2...

This truck was redone in 1975, so I am guessing as it has the 673C, I am strongly considering doing a cummings swap for reliability/power/easier to maintain. Would anyone here be interested in the engine/trans from an M54A1 and what could I expect to get for it? Located in So. Cal. Not ready...
