Has anybody taken this step? <br>Or maybe even a N14 ???<br><br>Just out of curiosity. A bombed ISX... in a RAM <br><br>Anybody done this ??? <br>Mission possible ???<br><br>AlpineRAM

 

They're way too heavy. The 1000 lb ISB is already a huge load on the failry weak Dodge front end. I don't think they'd fit under the hood either. :P

 

Over on the TDR, I saw pics of a ISC in a Ford a while back. I think it might have been an F350 but I'm not 100% sure about that. It was sweet.

 

Banshee- I would think that the weight wouldn't be too much of an issue. If I went that wild I'd have some suspension mods too. These Dodge suspensions don't seem too good at Mach3 ;D<br><br>For me personally the mild bombs on the ISB are probably enough.. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>AlpineRAM

 

Yeah on one of the diesel sights about a year ago someone had installed a Cummins 8.3 Mechanical C in a Ford F250 4x4, I think the weight of the engine was somewhere around 1300+lbs.<br>The conversion looked good too!<br><br>--Justin

 

Here is a link <br>http://www.turbodieselregister.com/f...threadid=36258

 

The ISC is about four inches longer and 500 pounds heavier. The axle would take the weight but be maxed out. Gearing would be a problem, the rpm's are lower, killing the top speed. The six speed might take the torque. Might get somewhere doing a body lift and a little cowl work. The body lift would allow a larger trans like a RTO 6600. But why

 

Thanks folks ! <br><br>This was just out of curiosity. I am really content with the power my truck produces, and it still has lots of potential.<br><br>AlpineRAM
