Detroit Diesel 453 Cold Start 

***** It's a Dodge with a Cummins. Get a life.

I'd love to make some suggestions but without...any detail on what you're converting, all I can say is make sure you get one with Jake's. they're worthless for slowing you down, but the noise is great. you'll need to couple the flywheel to another transmission with an adaptor and a flex plate that can span that additional gap, or for a manual, a compatible transmission you can mount appropriately, probably a different length drive line, a mechanical throttle pedal, and some extensive wiring if you want to have any gauge functionality. just my $0.02

Same

@@JasonY02 yep. Same here

this truck is a 1500HD. It had a 6.0 in it before the swap.

Tyler Bittle 1500 never had a 6.0 it would have had a 5.3

Coletrain6502 no the 1500HD did have a 6.0 in it, it was basically a light duty 2500 but today they don't make those because the standard 1/2 tons today have way more capability than the 1500hd trucks.

Jon Homrich shit, I didn't realize that the heavy half had a 6.0 in it, I stand corrected

Coletrain6502 check your facts before you make yourself look like a dumbshit.

+Lester artis pretty sure you can get one from phoenix casting.... which should adapt from which ever SAE layout is on your engine to GM transmissions.

Thanks

no 453 detroit diesal

nick smith the 453t will bolt up to any SBC "small block chevy" so if it "had" the 5.3 or 5.7 and was 4x4 then yes it still has 4x4

@@brandonbrink1589 I guarantee this truck used to have the 6.0 vortec because it's a 1500HD. The 6.0 was the only motor offered in the 1500hd

Brandon Brink could it bolt to a 5 speed gm transmission that had a v6 in it?

It's a 4-53 Detroit diesel 4cyl 159 cubic inches or 2.6 litres it makes 101 hp at 2800rpm and 205lbft of torque at 1800rpm they can be fitted with single or dual turbos for hp up in higher range

@@jeffgarrett2114 ??, are you sure its 159 Cu in, and not 212 Cu in or 3.48 litres? They made 136HP/282ft/lbs at 85 Fahrenheit 2,800rpm rated gross output. Continuous gross output at 2,400rpm/85 Fahrenheit was 93HP. Some later 4-53T's went as high as 175HP. Cheers.

@@harrothepilot I copied and pasted from the wikipedia page on Detroit Diesel

@@jeffgarrett2114 i tell ya one thing for a fact, they sound absolutely brilliant, dont they. I have always wanted one in a truck like this, but haven't got there yet, ohh well, one day.

The 2 stroke Detroit engines were sized by the first number being number of cylinders times the second number of cubic inches. 4-53 =212 cubic inches , 6-53 = 318 , 8-71 =568 etc.
