Power estimate
Hey guys im new here.
My plans are to convert a 5.9 into an 84 gmc jimmy. Anyway the question I was going to ask was how much power and torque would be made with this setup and also would it be suitable for a daily driver ok the parts are all brand new and are as follows 98 12 valve Cummins 5.9 Apr headstuds 247-4205 Hamilton 165# valve springs Hardened con rods Milled intake Ported cylinder heads Runner style intake manifold Gorilla girdle Apr mainstuds and conrod bolts 220-240-108 csa cast cam .385/.385 Flycut pistons Phatshaft 62 turbo Borgwarner s474 Also does anyone know where you can get an intercooler to fit the jimmy Thankyou your replies are much appreciated |
line bore the cam install bushings and run a steel cam. Zach makes great cams but for that size IMO steel is the way to go.
What kind of power are you lookin to make? |
what injectors you planning on running ??? and .. DD ? sounds like your gonna need a good trans for all that ...
5x14's ... my estimate .. 500 all day 1250 tq... all guestimate ... of course if the trans/clutch will hook it up .. |

I would be starting to worry a lot about how that jimmy will hold the weight of that engine, and how the trans and diffs will put up with it... a stock 5.9 governor springs, fuel plate, and with a 60mm HX35 will have the balls to break most ordinary tranny, tcases and diffs... I hope you have plans on putting a bigger diffs in that thing!
|
Ok so what are the limits of a 14 bolt diff and a dana 60 and the trans I was looking at is a gm 4l85e from gearstar which cab hold 1200 hp and 1000 lbft
|
Also would you be able to square off the chassis
What would be the actual limiting factors im hoping for at least 400 hp and at least 500 lbft as a minimum thanks ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Also I think I should upgrade the suspension from a larger model ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- But if I can get more power reliably then that would be the go Also needs to be good for a daily driver runnig a tranny that can handle 1000 lbft and a 14 bolt in the rear and a dana 60 in the front |

Apr headstuds 12mm Hamilton 165# valve springs 63/68/14 charger good intake and 4" exhaust Air dogg 150 with 40psi spring 5x.014's #10 plate Modded afc Rack plug 4k springs timing to 18*- 20* This is all you really need for a healthy 400hp the rest of your list is extreme overkill for that power number |
Your torque numbers will be twice the HP numbers! That is what we love with the Cummins 12 valve motors.
|
We love them ... but that 14 bolt won't :c:
