i'm trying to build the truck off of the latest fast and furious. they said that it was a 67 but my brother has a 68 cab and chassis one ton. i also can get a 96 powerstroke that has a great motor in it for 1500 bucks. but i also have been thinking of putting a 98 12 valve in it. i have some experience with powerstrokes and i could do everything myself. so my real question is if you were in my shoes what would you do?

 

depends on what your goals are really, the 12 valve might be cheaper if your are going for big power, but the powerstroke is still a damn good motor and can still be done up easily

 

i'm kind of biased but i've driven a lot of 7.3s and it seems to me there a little bit more reliable

also need advice on a tranny once i decide on a motor

 

dont get me wrong i love my 7.3, a 12 valve would just be more simple to put in there seems how there isn't much wiring

 

I like the 7.3 just fine but is no way more reliable than a 12v.

 

i've splurged for the 12v thanks for the advice guys. now how about a tranny?

 

47rh and no adapters.

 

i'm not that familiar with that tranny but i know i would rather have a standard

 

Nv4500 is a 5-speed from a 3/4 to a 1 ton.

 

nv5600 and have a 6 speed!
