Stainless diesel makes some pretty nice equipment. They claim they never had a manifold crack. Also they make a t-4 mani that puts the turbo closer. I hear good things about the 5 blade s400 turbos also. They do have blankets also.

Hello,I have been following this for months.When this is done you probably will never sell it because it is very special and custom
1)One thing I want to know is will the cummins engine type of engine mounts be able to hook up in the same way a big block chevy is installed, some modifications I guess.
2)Also how much does the cummins engine weigh, I am thinking compared to a 502 with a blower.
3)Why did you change from duramax to the cummins? Alot of diesel dragsters still use the duramax
4)About the inter-cooler if it was boiling the water wold it not be possible to have a inlet of water and a outlet so the water is always being exchanged?

Bell Housing:
We had to design and make a bell housing for the Diesels since there are no bell housings available that will fit on the truck block with the marine flywheel or the transmission bolt patter/spacing I needed.
Here is a before and after pictures of the billet aluminum. It started out as a 270 lb block and now there is 244.1 lbs of chips.
