I used to drive a pump truck in the oilfield a ten speed is easy and it's actually good for a 2 stroke you can keep the rpms up without to much jump between gears bogging you out

Most states aren't that picky on epa regs on older vehicle's. At least Louisiana isn't.Ryan123, what are the laws like there in Colorado about swapping in engines ? Do they require you to meet EPA standards ? Here in Washington we are required to meet EPA standards. Since the 2 stroke Detroits do not meet EPA standards you would not get it licensed here. I hope Colorado is different.
What they don't know won't hurt them! HahaRyan123, what are the laws like there in Colorado about swapping in engines ? Do they require you to meet EPA standards ?

I drive a small (23,000 pound) drilling rig. It has a 6 speed eaton and I hate driving it in town. Thankfully thats only once a week. I really wish it was an auto. Heck I wish my deuce was an auto but I rufuse to get an a3. I only like sticks in sports cars.
I see your point on the 10 speed though. I'm not trying to deter you. Just throwing out other ideas. I think the whole concept is awesome. I have always thought a lly duramax with the allison 1000 would be awesome in a bobber. You could even retain the odb 2 to aid in repairs. I have researched it a bit in case I win the lottery lol.
I really think that you would be happier with a 5 ton. Your mods would be much better matched to this size truck.I have heard of people getting 20-23 mpg out of a k2500 with a 4-53T pretty insane really.
On a second note found out today that 6v92's can turn 2300RPM sustained which with another thing I found which is a double overdrive eaton 13 speed transmission which has a final overdrive of .62 which at 2300 rpm 42 inch tired and 6.72:1 that give ya 66.21 mph and you are also getting 335 BHP @ 2100 RPM with the 92 and 957 ft/lbs of torque @ 1300RPM pretty impressive really.
