Burn it to the ground and put a CAT in it, you will keep the oil prices down that way..... think about that one.

Make sure you buy all new head bolts. We did one around 5-6 years ago. Lower compression, retarded cam timing, big schwitzer turbo, big injectors that were supposed to go in a genset engine and a hot pump with the bigger gear drive with #6 fuel lines to the front and rear head. It ran pretty good but was hard to start when it got cold out. Have fun.
1989 Pete Thanks this. -
