    M1009, what else to look for

    WHY is the current owner selling? Seems they have replaced/repaired most of the systems you attach TO the engine. Granted you state hi miles, but this diesel engine should get well over 200k miles if properly maintained. If the body is straight with no rust, about the only issues I see for...

    thundering M1008 3" straight piped

    my ONLY question is WHY TWIN THREE INCH PIPES? that's a little more than one inch larger per pipe, which will flow a lot more air out... isn't that pretty much overkill? have you increased the incoming airflow? these engines are pretty much a big air pump... not criticizing, but I think you...
