Dodge 1500 318-6BT Conversion
 

This isn't a dificult swap by any means. But I do want to put some of the pics up here so there is a bit of a record of my project. However, this was a bit more than just a conversion.

This truck started as a 95 2wd 1500 Dodge with a 318.

It is now a Cummins powered, back halfed, 4 linked, tubbed, nitrous fed, caged beast.

Here is a brief pictorial history.

Damn somehow I missed this thread.

Looks good Wes, even though I was lucky enough to see it in person....:c:

I've also seen it in person, but the step by step pictures really give everyone an excellent idea of how much work you have put into this project!!!

How long have you actually been working on this?

Sweet Truck!! Whats it run? Where did you get that front bumper cover?

Very nice, keep us posted!!!!!!!!!!!

Have another Vodka on the rocks genius!!!



Oh and pour one for me too, I've taken to your way of drinkin' lately, screw the tonic water.... straight potato fuel for this joker!!! :c::c::c:

Figures you would have nothing better to do than to bust my balls over a typo.......A-hole:tttt:

And yes, Im having one of those right now:w2::c:

CHEERS!

wow never new that yellow one wasent intercooled.... weird and crawler i love you truck its very sexay.
-edit: i guess urs isnt IC'ed either any particular reason? or do you let the drugs do that?

This Truck is BAD I like the Black :psst::psst::psst::psst:

x2... What the deal with non-IC?

An air to air intercooler doesn't benefit me enough to justify the extra weight on the front end of the truck. If I were to use a liquid to air intercooler then I could justify it. But, the A2A doesn't have much effect on a 1/4 mile drag race. You only spend a couple of seconds going fast enough to get enough airflow through it to be of any benefit.

So, chemical intercooling wins out.


Here's a new pic from the DFW Diesel Bombers GTG.
