thats my main concern too

as far as the end result of my build goes, if i end up needing to swap out the engine, trans, tires, and modified the suspension i feel that im still ahead considering that would mean i paid $13,500 for a chassis, air brake system, cab, all electrical, driveline, etc that is basically brand new...

and that would be my final confirmation for me doing an engine swap, i dont want to watch my EGT's or every couple of weeks tweaking this or adjusting that. so the bottom line is if i want more power with oem reliability i need to get an oem engine that happens to have higher power. the...

i called eastern earlier today to get more information and what they told me was that its a complete kit, bolt on, that increases power 20%-25%. but from reading the past few years threads discussing the possibility of turboing the nhc 250 it sounds like it needs quite a bit of work to the top...
