Funny that is exactly how mine worked out too. tcase and 4l80e from a 91 burban. Moved crossmember back just like you did only having to drill the new rear hole. My rear shaft was ok too, the front I aint concerned about breaking because it needs dana60 front anyway. Nice man!!!

LOL Yea the point of a high stall is to get the motor right into the meat of the powerband under load.... ours is perfect for the cam/head package. I've got this set to shift full throttle at 6200. I don't have any miles on the tranny yet other than blowing the tires off on the road out front, curious to see how it goes. What trans is yours, I didn't see it listed but if I had to guess I'd say 700R4 based on the tbi and smallblock? Since I went to a 4L80e I can stall it however high I want and then just use the lockup converter when going down the road via the trans tune.... kinda best of both worlds. Also this is more of a toy for her, something to drive when it's nice out it's not really practical for towing and things like that. I suppose a picture is worth 1000 words.

Sure feels good to have your truck back I bet! I hate it when I'm without mine for whatever the reason. It's like putting on your favorite pair of jeans.

I love how tough it looks. That's certainly a B model that I'd own!

Kinda did something similar for my wife in her "new" Suburban. We went from a 6.2 Diesel and th400 to a '00 5.3 with cnc ported heads, big valves and double springs, nice cam with a 4l80e and a 3200 stall converter. Ours wasn't new but these LS motors are the best things since sliced bread. Heres a few pics.

Fun aint it?!?!?! I've still gotta finish tuning it etc, I just wrote a very basic tune so it would idle.

I love those old Fords. Great score!

200psi oil pressure?!

That is one Mack I would've loved to own.

Wow killer work. I haven't see this thread in a long time I'm glad to see you've bought the truck and are doing it justice! Looks fantastic. I'm not terribly far from you maybe I'll see you around.

looks like you coulda drove that one home?

Long Island N.Y.?

Yea, more specifically Rockaway Peninsula, Amstel Blvd... appears to still be there too, you can see it from google maps. I only know this because some kind of conversation broke out about it on FB and I tracked it down on the map. This picture is off bing maps, but you can see it on google or whatever too.

That thing is badass, we definitely need a video!!!

Damn that's a sweet 359!

One must never forget what a 2 stroke diesel Detroit and a green banana have in common. Neither one is worth a damn until they turn yellow.

LOL!!! That's a new one for me I like that.

You know, back when they were new, I hated the things. Loud, leaky, and just plain nasty. Now that they've become a "vintage" engine, they are starting to grow on me. Partly because they are just such a unusual design.

The truth is, even though they leak oil everywhere and sound like a nest full of bumble bees, they will usually run forever.

1958 FWD, I was always told that you needed to slam your hand in the door so you would drive the truck like you were mad at it. You have to keep them old two strokes wound up tight to get any power out of them (no low end torque). That usually meant your foot to the floorboard and a lot of gear shifting.

You know I don't really get where the oil leaking reputation comes from... Only thing I can think is the airbox drains, because all of mine are as dry if not drier than any other diesel engine that's been through my shop. They do all bleed a tiny bit out of the tubes, but they are supposed to. A canister with a vent would easily fix this if it bothered you. I'm just trying to help our national oil supply and get some back in the ground.

Thanks!!!! those are pretty cool I'd imagine all 200 sold pretty quick.

lol I thought it said $500.

I'm really proud of VW for sticking it to the EPA and their bullshit. These greenies need to be rounded up with the liberals and shot.

I genuinely can't stand when someone sells something out from under when you've already made a deal. Makes you want to just drive back and break their legs. I was really afraid it was going to happen on my 359 but got lucky and it all turned out ok.

Whats the deal with the liberty superliners? Does anyone have a link to more info or a brochure or something so I can learn more about them?

Nice work STAXX! It kills me that they banned the 2 stroke.

Damn you are on the wrong coast.

I went Saturday, entered my pickup. Tried desperately to find a ride for my 359 but couldn't put anything together. That LM needed new front tires in the worst way. I sure hope he trailered that there!

it's a stock N65 injector 475hp spec right now.

Make the mack gods happy.

Complete with the leaky 671 detroit.

Man northeast trucks are always tore up from weather. About as close as I've come to a Mack is this old Autocar I used to own.

Needed a cab just as badly as the one you linked, except luckily the frame was in great shape because it was aluminum. And yes, 8v71n power!

thanks guys. The primary reason I don't own a Mack yet is because they are hard to find with DD power!
