Rebirth of Dustbull-with 408ci, efi, t56, dana 60
Sounds like a cool project! Are you on full size jeeps? Good luck with your swap! I wanted to do a diesel swap into something, i got lucky and found a J2000 with a thriftside bed. Bought it dirt cheap with a clean title, no floors, no bed floor. I got even luckier and found a cummins ram (auto) for $2000 (Dana 60 front, Dana 80 rear, 3:55 gears)...the tranny gave out when i was towing the demon home, i found a 6spd manual for another $1000.
It sounds like a lot, but the plans are:
rebuild the 6spd
bigger injectors, 4k rpm gov spring, run ~35psi boost
H1 12 bolt wheels w/ 37" tires
on board air system
2 tank waste vegitable oil system
Current curb weight is 7000lbs, id like to get it down to ~5500lbs. Im currently getting 20-25mpg (20avg) and would like to get it to consistantly be 25+mpg
A friend and I got a dodge frame shortened to 120" wheelbase, in the coming months well be swapping everything over...
