Ok first off lay off the drugs or at least share with me so I can go crazy too.... Second a 90s model Chevy would never ever ever ever support the wieght of a CAT engine because it is IFS. You would have to do so much it wouldnt be cost effective or worth it in the end. Yea its a cool thing toi dream of but the cost is so outragous it would just be better to start with a new truck and bomb away on that.

3208 Turbo is actully bigger than a NA.....
Besides ....Are they not throw away motors? I dont think those have liner's.

Nah E2 it would be a cool swap and the IFS would be traded for a Dana 60 axle.

you better buy a good starter before you install
no room for extraction
about 1/2 inch clearence on frame rails
custom fire wall

the 3176 and the 16 are awfully long and deep

the 3176 can and has been put into a late 70's 2wd F350 regular cab......it was built to run the baja and it did very well, offroad magazine did a article on it a few months back, the truck was gold/brown tutone and has 35's under it on 16.5x9.75 Outlaw wheels, the magazine cover had a red 65 ford truck with long travel suspension......


but i cant remember half of the crap im supposed to do at work every day.......

Interesting.It's just a crazy dream now due to the fact I don't have the money or time for it right now.
