Hi again, I guess I'll have to be careful when I mention brand names. I wasn't trying to raise a debate on who's better, I mentioned Cummins because I've seen it in a Dodge. I've never even seen a 4-53T or know where they were used so I wouldn't know what hood to lift to find one.
I was just wondering about the noise and by that I mean from the motor itself not what you hear out the tail pipe.
Out the tail pipe is sweet,but the drown of a diesel like my 7.3 up front gets a little old after a few hundred miles.
No synchros huh, so how do you get first gear, wait for the gears to stop spinning. I've never driven a non-synchro trans although I do shift without clutch just for the fun of it.
As you can see I'm not to bright when it comes to diesels, Ive got one in my truck which I've had a few years but my gearhead knowledge is in plastic cars because I've wrenched them for decades.
Thanks for the help in understanding what your doing with this swap, I find it interesting.
I wanted to watch what Grigg was doing but back when he started I was on dial up and it would take half a day to look at his pics. Now I'm on satelite so I can see pics now.
