    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    If it was me I would do a compression check on that 383 or 400 in that 74ish truck you posted. If it checks out, grab the all of it, and slam it in there in one shot. That thing has just about everything you would need, mounts and all. That wrecker is an interesting thing, motor looks to be...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    You might have a point about the direction of rotation with that motor. I believe I talked to the guy with that 361 you are after (guy from wisconsin), he had two of them, perhaps from a boat application where one spins backwards. There are three possible bolt patterns on the mopar stuff, one...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    From a real mopar guy: That motor you have is a 361, a big block just like a 350, 383, 400, 413, 426 and 440. It uses a big block bellhousing pattern, meaning to install it in your truck you need to swap the transmission case for a big block case. There may be an issue with the crankshaft...

    Modern multifuel redesign?

    Cetane number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cetane number is the compression-ignition equivalent of the octane number for a spark ignition engine. It is a measure of how well the fuel will ignite as it is injected it the hot compressed air in the cylinder. In general, the higher the...

    Modern multifuel redesign?

    Modern multifuel engines exist. Scania modifies compression ignition engines to burn ethanol, which is quite a feat, considering the low cetane number for ethanol. Mann builds a similar engine. So long as the fuel is free of particulate matter that could damage or clog the injector pump or...

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    Bendtsen can hook you up. Likely going to be pricey, but the chevy-to-mopar swap is a bastard with the starter locations. Transmission Adapters Another option is to cut the bellhousing off the 727 and bolt on an aftermarket bell. I am not sure that Ultrabell makes this one, but you could...

    Why so little power?

    Reading the LDS-465-1 multifuel manual, figure 1 shows a minimum of BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) of 0.400 lb/BHP-hr. The BSFC is a measure of the mass of fuel consumed to make 1 hp for 1 hour. The 0.4 lb/BHP-hr number isn't great, a modern TDI motor will run in at about 0.33...

    Well, Big Earl let me "enjoy" his deuce for a short time this weekend, and I am more excited about it than ever. I am ready to jump in with both feet.:-D

    The plan was to buy one out of the next lot that comes across GL at Camp Ripley. Just gotta get my tax rebate back from the feds. I think my dad may have not-so-fond memories regarding the m35a2 he is trying to repress, and he doesn't want it in his yard, so i need to figure out where to put...

    New member from Minnesota saying hello. Been thinking about buying a deuce but the logistics are hard to manage at this point in my life, as I am just finishing college. It is kind of reassuring to find that I am not the only twisted individual who wants to spend tons of time and money playing...
