OK, so I have this "spare" engine from my 93 that was destroyed. And now in the process of getting another 93 :evil
Now im assuming there is a 370HP marine application 5.9 Cummins? just kind of obvious with these "370 marine injectors, n 370 marine pistons" floating around. Is my thinking 180* off or what?
Anyway, I want to build up my "spare" into a great towing "BEAST!" Sooo would building off of a 370 marine cummins' specs, then improving upon that be a good idea?
Heres what I know will be done:
Balanced to turn 4K
Marine 370 pistons, ceramic coated
Cam (Dunno who's but it'll get one)
Injectors to fuel twins (new era 475's im thinking)
firerings in the head
port n polish
Sheid 60Lb springs
Large exhaust valves (like BBD, but r they a good idea for non race?)
Studs
WH1C/14, H2E combo (gettin H2E free) :rockwoot:
P-pump, or VE. doesnt matter, id like to keep it VE.
Water/meth
Now, will stock rods hold up? What about stock valve spring retainers n keepers?
I am looking for any suggestions, or improvements. I want to keep cost down, but im looking for between 450-550 HP (on a dyno, so it can be de-tuned obviously) and a daily driver soooo...........
Is this a good combo? what would you change? Anything you would add?
There r obvious things that dont need mentioning, like intercoolers, n exhaust.
Thanks!
