I recently picked up a CUCV with drive train issues. I just happen to have a 350 in the garage and a buddy has one of these trannies sitting in his garage. I have ready several places they bolt up to GM bell housings. I am seriously considering the swap. Please keep us up tp date on your plans...
Thanks. I wil take the time to read that.
In other news. I sold the D-Max turbo. I got an offer I could not refuse. So now I am thinking the Garrett from the 97 PowerStroke I have would be a goos choice to use.
We all know everything on the internet is true. That being said, a video I saw on the Hot Rod channel on You Tube got my attention. They took a mostly stock 4.3 Chevy Vortec gas engine and installed a stock turbo from a 7.3 Power Stroke on it. It ran great on the road and race track. According...
In my opinion... The multi can handle a larger turbo that stock. Now, how much larger I cannot say. I was kicking around the Dmax turbo because I have it on a shelf collecting dust. But, I also have a turbo from a 97 7.3 Power stroke. That one is a bit easier to adapt to different applications.
I agree with your point. However, the one reason I was thinking this "might" work is because the Dmax turbo is larger than the Multifuel turbo. For a lack of a better turn, bigger is sometimes better.
And that is one of the concerns I have. I know this is not a bolt on thing. But I thought it would be a interesting topic for conversation. Adapting this turbo would be tough.
I just happen to have a lower hour turbo from a late model Duramax. Before I try to sell it I was kicking around the possibility of installing on my M35. Any thoughts on this?
