    Is there any difference in internal parts between the 350hp, 410hp & 450hp motors or are injectors & ecm setting the only differences?

    I just made a post asking the same question about the heads in particular lol. Trying to stick some 410 heads on a 450 or put a 450 ECM on the 410 and swap engines

    Yeah I saw your other post, if you can make one good motor out of the two that's that's what I'd do & then sell the truck for something with a Detroit or cat. We had two trucks with Mercedes motors, the power, mileage & reliability suck. We have one truck left with this motor & after we get it overhauled we're gonna get rid of it. Any motor that you have to pull the drive line, trans, clutch, flywheel, bell housing, starter, A/C compressor, air compressor, alternator, alternator bracket & front cover just to replace the cam shaft ain't worth the powder to blow it to hell.

    There's a reason they don't put them in trucks anymore, they are JUNK!!!
