A couple of winters ago I drifted my m817. That's a whole different feeling. Had to clean up the mess I left in the drivers seat.:oops:

Oh no, now I want one. Better get out the welder.

Nice welds. [thumbzup] Do you plan on having that dolly powered, if not you could save weight by replacing the axle centers with square tube. But a powered dolly would be awesome.

Did you see the footage of that Case tractor that blew the upper portion of the block through it's hood?

Is there a big difference in starting power if one go's from using two good batteries to four good batteries? I'm using two right now, but the trucks have always seemed to turn over slow.

That's usually caused by the basketball sized turbochargers needing ten minutes to spool up.

I was looking for something a little more heavy duty than that. I am currently reading up on air disc brakes from Meritor and SAF Holland. I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far. Just trying to figure out if I can fit one of these units inside a 20 inch combat wheel.

The military strives for complexity.:deadhorse:

It's a turbine! It's a turbine!! It's got to be a turbine!!! :jumpin:

Nitrous, not nitro-methane. And I hope that's calculated boosted compression and not actual engine compression. If it's actual compression then your going to need titanium head studs.

16.00's could take it. At least for a few minutes.

The Big Cam 400 will have an SAE #1 flywheel housing, you can use the one from the 250 but you'll have to machine the area for the camshaft bearing bigger. That and I believe the front motor mount may be different. Other than that I think it's plug and play.

What they don't know won't hurt you.

Seriously though, you should look at axles used on all terrain forklifts like a Lull. Most of those have high ground clearance, planetaries, and wet brakes. I know those axles can take some serious abuse. Not sure about speed though, they're usually geared really low.

You just want to be sitting on 3000 horsepower of nitro boosted war machine!!!

A 400 Big Cam would be nice, but I would ditch the auto in favor of a Eaton Road Ranger 9513. Then you could do the home brewed double overdrive conversion to make it a triple overdrive with last overdrive ratio in the high .5 range. Even if you do all that there's no telling if the transfer...

Sorry, that last post was supposed to be here

Lucky bugger, try and leave some for the rest of us

I might be interested if there was a front axle too. Bet you can't guess what's going into my 5-ton:carnac:

This may have been discussed here before, but I was unable to find the answers I need. If so I would appreciate it if someone could point me to the right thread. The project- bobbed m800 5-ton powered by an 8v71n two Stroke Detroit, Spicer 6453 five speed, Rockwell t-1138 transfer case, and...
