its not no dodge but same can be done to our trucks. the detriot 6v53 with a 10 speed raodranger and rear ends gears dont know sorry. fuel milege no good, leaks ofcourse its a detroit. stright pipe not really but still loud. the frame had to be only cut at the engine were the water pump is the oil pan lots of changes to fit were the ax is but there lots more to make to fit trans and cross members. fits edit good from what i could see but he give it a body lift to make it easyer for everything else. front leaf spring he added one or 2 mods i forget if he did anything sorry my bad for not listening lol. kms on the truck dont know motor not alot since it has been in ths truck. no rust new fenders and stuff. i bugged the guy to start it to hear the sweet noise hes like you will get a hard on lol i said dont care just lets hear it lol. he said it not overly fast going throw the gears but sure turns heads sorry if pics are poo but all i had was my phone and it better than nothing

Is it in an 80's Chev? Theres a guy around here with a 2 cycle detroit in a nice chev 4x4, not much power but the exhaust just screams, never heard anything like it. He just broke the output on his xfer case at the last truck pull around here.

Don't know if you posted pics or not, I'm at work and they usually don't show up here.

someone around here had a 70's Dodge Crew Cab short box 4x4 with a 3-53, but have heard him lately... ;-)

Theres some videos on Youtube of a 60s chevy with a 353 detroit sounds cool.

I had a 453 in a welding truck and even in the mild hills of SE Penn, and it was horrible at power and acceleration. Terrible,other than the SOUND :-) especially when i went under all the overpasses. it had a 4' straight pipe. crossy

Yea, I see the pics now, thats the one I was thinking of, he owns a truck and transport shop round my area. Pretty sweet truck thats for sure, all he needs now to complete that truck is a cummins under the hood...

Hey max 924 ,you must be in my area ! The guy that owns that truck is a Detroit nut he won't be putting a cummins in it .He is looking for a turbo for it though.That is an impressive job when you see it in person.

havent heard the 6v53's, but I have had some wheel time behing a HEMTT wrecker with the 8v92. the power was good for a heavy old 8X8 and the sound just ROCKS! Id kinda like to play with the 8v92 I bit and see what i could do, but the army doesnt like us "playing" with anything.
