CUCV M1028 Conversion

[britannic]

How's this drivetrain recipe sound for a 6BT with P7100 300HP/650tq:



HD Dodge NV4500

HD Clutch assembly (900ft/lb +)

Married NP205

Feeding a mil-spec stock 14 bolt full float detroit locker 4. 56 with 35" 315s and D60 full float limited slip up front



The driveshafts are also mil-spec and wouldn't look out of place on a C60.



I plan to start with a stock engine, debug the conversion and then add the power incrementally.



Starting with a pre-existing diesel should make the conversion a little easier, but I'm under no illusions .

A guy I know in southern CA did one in his 1028. Made all his own adapter plates and all, turned out pretty decent.

Kickin Y2K: is there any way to contact this guy?

UNfortunately he moved about three years ago and I never kept in touch, which sucks because he had a few military trucks I wanted to buy for my collection.

Now that I think about it, my buddy Kevin might know how to get hold of him, but he is in Iraq right now.
