Does the situation still hold true if using a smaller SAE #2 setup and aluminum flywheel housing? Cast iron clutch housing on trans.

No way. We get bored easily if no progress, and start picking on each other like siblings. Give us the dump update. That is why we are all here. I want to do the same. I'm watching the frame you are building, why, and how you will mount the hoist. I don't want that kind of hoist because...

While you are at it, install a big lawn sprinkler box under your hood. It makes your truck faster and impresses your friends.

I guess you are 3 times better than me then.

I'll say no, it's a multi-fuel.

I'd believe you, because ratchet straps got me home last time (torque rod bushing failure). So, polished aluminum for the masses. I had to do something to keep all the tools from continual endlessly asking "Is that a multifuel?".

Hero status just awarded to SD !!!

Heading that way. I've got the ride, so you be the pimp. :driver: I just want it to look respectable when it is kickin' grendel and Simp's you know whats.

Nope. Just stories. We want a dyno slip and a pic of your 9 on the rollers. ISL can go to 450hp, so you'd better buy my 8.3L P-7100 12mm pump.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I'm sitting in my chair with a plunger stuck to the floor, practicing shifting (Jbulach credit). If I ever get it figured out, I'll trade out the shift knob for something a little more difficult to understand, like this:

More info, as I just added one to my ISL engine with 6CTA8.3 oil pan.

Piecing together the pilot bearing, clutch bolts, silly stuff like that. Painted mil oil pan, installed oil heater in it, painted exhaust manifold, turbo center, turbo exhaust housing, and finally received turbo compressor housing back from being polished. Trimmed out the Cummins lettering in...

Thanks. I'll yank the input shaft retainer and reseal it then just to make sure it doesn't leak. Sizing up pilot bearings, and clutch housing-to-flywheel housing bolts. I am going to order an old 70's type rear support for it. Just scares me with that much weight hanging off an SAE #2...

I respect tangent ideas. Seriously, I have seen a lot of things accomplished that way.

Jbulach has too many amps, so don't ask him. He's my bro on this exact topic. Our 24v starters pull 900 amps initial inrush, and 450 amps average during cranking an 8.3L which is already warmed. For a 250 engine, these figures will be higher. LDT/S, same as 8.3L. Cold oil will he higher...

It's more fun to sit back and watch the sh!t fly from one side of the room to the other. ISL/13 speed combo is progressing. Summer cruises are over now. Getting kids kicked off to new schools, then I can rip the utereus out of my 9 for the transplant. Love the plunger comment, that will...

That is a very common marine battery bank switch, made by Perko. On a stock mil alternator, be sure not to switch the batteries off while the engine is running. The alternator will lose its reference voltage, and go to full voltage output. Usually wipes out PCB, ABS, and CTIS modules. Any...

Correct. But, stock mil pump can be turned up with a socket. Not to same power level as a 12mm P-7100 pump, but still more than stock. I have a 12mm P-7100 from an 8.3L if somebody has to have it.

All A2's ready have that exact box for the CTIS.
