Run some biodiesel through that Rocky Mountain Hummingbird. Detroits love biodiesel.

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

[familyguyer08]

sweet man !

[nomad1187]

Great job on the converson. Love that 2 stroke sound. Reminds me of an old fire truck. Did you need to rais the gear ratio? Im just going to guess that you went to something like a 2.50: ratio? Please let me know how I did?

[rangerblue87]

No we left it stock 410 but put a 5 speed in it tops out at about 75

Hey I really like your truck rangerblue87!!Nice job with it, plus its such a rare old Ford! Love the straightpipe too! I am just trying to learn what I can about the 353 engine. I have a little 88 s10 Blazer just beggin for an 353...

Vacuume: This "little" diesel puts the torque of a 'standard' sized V8 gas engine. While the Horsepower is low, the torque level is high. A trade-off, but gearing a diesel has to be changed as to a gas engine. The max RPM of this engine is about 2200 RPM. Another is..... this combo in this vid will get twice the mileage of a gas engine.

[rangerblue87]
