That is the one, thank.

Thanks for the heads up. A while back I found a site for a company that was selling "milirary" enignes but I cannot remember who it was. They had a biulding full of them.

I know where one is I want. I think it use to carry a tank for a fire department. It is even dualled out already. If I can afford to grab that one up, the bed may be available.

Thanks. That is not far from where my family lives.

I do plan to upgrade the suspension. Feul is what I am planning to haul. The weight is one reason I changed my mind about a buffalo tank. A plastic ag tank should cut the weight down quite a bit.

Agreed.

D70 for $100? That is a fine price.

Amen to that. I am not trying to biuld a sled pulling, drag racing, tug-o-war, dyno killing, nitro huffing, power slinging beast. With 40+ year old technology, there is always room for improvement.

Now, the question stand, if that is the best choice how do I locate one?

That does help, thanks.

For that price we can just continue to get them other places.

A more efficiant engine is what I am going after. I know they are detuned a bit for longevity. But I just want to tweak it a bit. The internal mods mentioned before are a good start.

A water buffalo is what I had in mind. but I think the ag tank is a better idea. Then I can see how much is in it. I would prefer not hacking up a M37 though. I would rather locate a M37 that came with a tank, if possible.

I completely agree. I am just curious about thier availability. I am also wondering where I would go to get store bought parts for these engines.

What about new internals? Oh and not to mention gaskets, seals and so on.

You hit the nail on the head. I was planning on some mild internal mods like you just mentions. How hard is it to get internals for them?

You are correct. When I metiond installing a bigger turbo I was not talking about somehting that would put the engine at risk. However, I do want to look into injector upgrades and some head work.

That does sound like a good set up. But it ruins my multi fuel reasons. Wait, I have never heard of a GM 8.3 deisel. Are you sure GM made a deisel that big?

Thanks for information. I know they are not power monsters, but I was hoping to at least make it a little more efficiant at least.

I was thinking the same thing. :wink:
