So if we changed it back to a pure diesel motor we should be able to get more power? I understand the rotating assembly is heavy but it's probably comparable to other diesels in the same displacement class. Most diesels in this class only rev to 2500 or so and they make trmendous amounts of...

"The intake isn't the issue. You CAN get 250hp out of a multifuel... just before you lose a rod or melt a piston." That seems a little silly since Continental spec'd one of the MF at 210hp. I would be inclined to think that since the C and D turbos are 50 years old they are garbage. The fact...

I just don't understand why this motor only produces a little more than .25 hp/ci but can't be tuned to .5 hp/ci without severely affecting its useful life. We're only talking about 232.5 hp at .5/ci. The CR is high and I can see that being a limit but it doesn't make sense that you would have...

I would imagine if you machined enough from the pistons to lower the CR to 19-20:1 you would remove a fairly significant amount of material. This would lighten the load on the bottom end quiet a bit. Would having the rods shot peened be worth it or are they really so bad that the only realistic...

Just being curious has anyone ever tried milling the OE piston bowl to reduce CR? This would have the added benefit of reducing piston weight to a small degree. I don't have any back ground in diesel engines but I just don't see that it would be that hard to get decent numbers from a MF. I would...

It is in all the threads I've looked through. If there wasn't so much good information here I don't think I would be a member. There just seems to be a handful of people that can't resist telling everyone else what they can and can't do. It's a shame really.

I would think the easiest thing to do would be to ask the manufacturer of the R&P to see what GVWR they are rated for. Then make the decision if you are willing to sacrifice what you can haul for a little more speed. There was another thread on here that someone was using the 4.90 in a bobbed...

I will never understand the logic of putting "lift blocks" in a truck that weighs 11K+. They are a bad idea in 1/2-1 ton trucks since they put a lot of stress on the springs not to mention they crack. To each his own I guess.

:ditto: Love your truck very well done. Still waiting to get mine but I would love to build it up like you have yours. You're traction bars look good, should do an amazing job stopping axle wrap. Just to be curious has anyone ever gotten the axle to wrap on a Deuce? I know it's fairly common on...
