6v92ta with 13 spd engine swap

It is possible to do because I did it offers more power more torque and is almost a 1, 000 pounds ligther and it sounds really cool

Pics or it never happened. Also describe how you handled the front driveshaft.

That engine weighs 600lb more than a 6CTA8.3.

Calling BS. Not possible, pics or gtfo lol!! I really want to see this.

Hold tight. He might have it. This is like sitting at a poker table. Looks to be the engine in his pic. Fuel filter location, turbo, and rear belt driven alternator are correct. Could also be a 6V71 or 6V53. Just can't tell what vehicle it is in. It is green but has no cowl in front of the windshield. Also looks to have a brake master cylinder? I think I also see the compressor governor. This could get good. Any DD sounds fabulous, I'm staying tuned...

I believe he said in another post that the truck he started with was an 800 series. Does his picture match that truck?

He has an album with pictures of the swap.

Well.. Now I feel like an idiot. Thank you for pointing out that he already has pictures up

To the OP... Your truck looks pretty sweet! Glad to see someone trying something different

You can tell it's a 6v-92 due to the large snap ring on the water pump cover. The 71 series has bolts that hold it on and the 53 series is not even close.

Ha! He did it! He's my new BFF!

Yes but as he said about 1000 lbs less than a 855 ci and it's a two stroke so potentially a lot stronger power wise. Not to rain on anyone's parade but I have seen an 8v92 stuffed in one.

I have seen pictures, and a video of it running, and driving.

The Detroit is in this truck.


Beeson did a great job with the swap!!!
