Question 89 GMC Topkick Toter

Just bought low mileage race car trailer toter with the 8.2 Detroit Fuel Pincher turbo with a six speed manual trans and 3.9 rear end. What would be a good re - engine choice? We would like to get at least 300hp and 650 torque. Current engine is 230hp and 495 torque.

I have access to sons steel fab shop and some machine tools but would like to avoid anything exotic.

Thanks.

If you have a big enough dog house under the cab then go with the DT466 international with a P pump! Plenty reliable and hooks up with plenty of torque.

Chances are with that v8 diesel you dont have much of a dog house and there for limited for space! If so get a 8v 72 and some earplugs!
