Alright, new to forums and hope this place is active still and hope I put this in the right spot, I would consider it an IHC engine still.
Previous info:
I brought home what I believe is a 95 (gots to remember to go take a picture of SN) DT466, block, crank, cam, pan, rods and pistons. (NO cylinder head included, NO front cover included) Was told it was draining coolant into the pan and it was operated like that for 2 years with frequent oil changes and one day it just locked up, I saw #6 ate a little something, not as bad as my 414 in my 1066 that ate #5 exhaust valve at WOT and still drove it a couple miles for cell service but anyhow...
Build suggestions & goal:
I would like to have some suggestions for building a very powerful engine out of this for use in a 2017+ F550 203" wheelbase truck. I have been reading I can mate a RTO6613 or 10 to it. Will go that route probably. Need to have something that I can run strong and be drivable with a lot of weight behind it, not trying to just drag race the truck, would prefer to not have to exceed 3500 RPM, would love to have as much torque as low rpm as possible, but definitely want to out-power anything else that was offered in a pickup truck, such as built 6.4s, built/tuned 6.7s etc.
So,
Anybody got part # and ideas for turbos, pumps, injectors, cams, cylinder head, manifolds, pistons, rods, maybe a crank as I don't know condition of mine yet, flywheel/clutch assembly, water pump, cooling support etc?
I need to find out what cylinder head is best, I have seen on youtube for DT466 swap in a ford pickup guy used the e model head with the intake ports running down instead of on the side like traditional engine. I was told thats better than the high flow "+" head we would put on our tractors.
EDIT: Now am wondering, if that HEUI head was used.. how to machine out for the traditional injectors along with lines from an inline pump like p7100? Unless that cylinder head was used on p-pumped engines and I don't know that yet?![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
Any help ideas and suggestion is very welcome and I will try to also post other things I learn and achieve here. Thanks.
