Peterbuilt 351 with butterfly hood build

How about some pictures one post Trav?

 

Before I built a 1000 hp pete I would learn to spell Peterbilt.

 

I will be kind of curious to see what you come up with in regards to a radiator that will keep the engine cool.
You might need to come up with a custom job a foot thick to keep that engine cool.

 

You think about it, cooling the horsepower of the day was what killed the 351, but modern trucks have smaller radiators with much higher horsepower than he they had then. I'm guessing that a four row radiator should be able to do the job for a high horsepower truck engine. An industrial engine that is close to 200 inches larger may be a different story.

To OP, the C18 has the same external dimensions as a C15, which is smaller than an 855 Cummins. 855 Cummins were installed new in 351s, so a C18 should fit.

 

Not an old school Cummins guy but I'm guessing air to air didn't exist back when the 351 was in production.

 

May be easier to put in in back , like some of the race trucks?

 

I saw one with a 550 Cat motor that had a custom built really thick radiator. Not sure who built it.

 

That's a far cry from 1,000 hp c18

 

What I was getting at earlier with my air to air comment was there simply might just not be enough room for a bigger rad and air to air to accomodate that kind of power.
