The G.M. Hummer that should've worked...

It's just more weight on the front and to keep it from doing wheelies

Or he could mount it in the back witha v-drive and have a wheelie machine.

Darthyota..! How are you..?! You're right, maybe even a little more than 700, I may be doing a serious suspension plan immediately following the swap...
I think maybe moving it back a little bit might help, but I believe it will be a little lighter than the 454 I was going to shove in there... I really want to get it moving for now... It's killin me to see it sit...

I'm pretty good keeping super busy with work as it is spring shutdown season. Moving the engine back will help with weight distribution, as I'm sure you're well aware of being an aircraft guy and all.

Was the ISB 170 considered? or even the 2.8 cummins repower?

Hey Motohead.! Oh yeah, I really like 2.8 Cummins, in fact I completely dig it, but the price point was still out there too high right now with the other stuff going on in the family...
The ISB 170 was not considered, and after just a quick look at the performance and specs, I'm going to dig into it further, I've got about a week and a half before we move it to the shop and start the search for the engine, so I am seriously going to check it out...
Thanks for that heads up on it..!
Could you post a link for me to follow..?
I'm seeing it at 170 hp/450 ft lbs, with a little bit less vibration and noise...
And I like that...

With just a quick search, I'm finding the ISB 170 priced all over the map too...
$1250.oo (apart but suitable for rebuild) and clear up the ladder from there to $500.oo (fully built and running with the harness)... Time to add it to the equation..!
Thanks Motohead..!

I'm pretty sure the re power 2.8 is a US emissions comlpiant ISF. The ISB's are just newer 4BT/6BT motors.

 

[Tinker]

Hell yeah man! I may be a bit biased but I love 4BT builds!
