So, I don't belong in the 2.5 forum because I only owned one for a week and had the chance to double my money on it, so I did. But it was a total riot, and I wanted more of it. With that, I went and bought an M925A2. But, upon doing so, I met a fellow enthusiast (WildChild467) that is fairly close by and has a nice M35A2. So, we now have this situation:
He also has a "109" in storage, which I think is a cube van version of an M35A2. I have a 300hp rated 6-71T two cycle Detroit Diesel in storage (pic in engine section of SS), factory equipped with a supercharger (blower), turbocharger, and a 7 speed spicer manual trans. I have yet to compare the engine dimensionals (anybody have them on hand for the LDT/S?), but I am guessing the 6-71 is likely longer and taller. I'd be more than happy to ditch the mechanical fan for an electric one, and even ditch the radiator and just go with a simple rectangular aluminum one with twin 24V fans mounted at an angle in the bed front or rear of cab. We'd ditch the cube on the back and run a bed or 5th wheel hitch plate.
I believe one member here has done it, no pics and he hasn't posted since 2014? Any ideas or input is valued, thanks in advance.
