Thanks for the tips, I'll pass them on. I think it's a 3/4 ton but back then the frames were the same.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

No problem. Also I just used factory 93 engine mounts.

No more stack and original doors back on. They still need patch panels.

I'll get some better pics but just a 5" over axle dump.

It's better but still loud. Have a ton of noise coming through the firewall. I may stick the silencer ring back in the HE351.

Mine is close to the ground so it drones bad all the time.

Turn it out or continue it out the back. Nothing says BAD like a 4 or 5 inch pipe coming out under the bumper. ;)

That's my plan once I round up some more old 5" pipe 8)

I've been trying to find one of those for years now. All too far away

Been DDing this thing for the past few months. Leaf spring bushings are starting to crumble. Quick fix was a chunk of dayco heater hose over the sleeve...

Hyperflex poly kit & greasable bolts on order :)

Here's a question....

I come across quite a few mid size CAT turbochargers, mostly s300, have two with 66 compressor wheels. Not sure on exhaust as housings are a bear to get off. T4 foot, one is gated.

Being that this truck weighs in around 5700 lbs and has a sloppy converter, would I be any better off trying to get a 66 spooling?

Got a hold of a good one I think....

66 comp wheel. Variable vane. Need to heat the ex housing and measure the turbine. Now I need to make a t3/t4 adapter or get a t4 manifold...
