I think a 4bt would be pretty cool in a super duty. You should be able to get 250-300hp out of it without too much hassle if it's a VE and it'd give ya much better fuel mileage than a 5.9

elephantrider you really should get a real intake, you're pulling hot air off the manifold and the alternator. and My buddy did that on his 12v and it sucked the filter in and twisted it up.
clean truck though, i don't know how you deal with that exhaust. without a turn down it must drone like crazy.

I posted mine once already but I'll throw a quick timeline up.
Here's my '90 when I got it in Dec. '08.

Tearing it down to replace the head gasket.

The transformation starts. Took the sleeper off and installed a rear window.

Prepared the flatbed for removal.

Lifted it off at the scrap yard.

Then spent a day to get it to where it is now and after I gave her a bath.
