thank you. it is lots of work, pictures do it justice for the amount of work needed.

jbclassix · 01-07-2012, 12:42 AM

K. just the title hooked me! I've seen Travelettes with Cummins swaps, IDI IHC swaps, 6.5L swaps, and powerstroke swaps. I've ALWAYS liked Cat engines. I'm in!

tecky11 · 01-07-2012, 12:44 AM

welcome to the club

i will have more pics this weekend. things should go according to plan and set right in, and the hood should be right on without a cowl.

Maxxd07 · 01-07-2012, 02:34 AM

tecky11 · 01-07-2012, 02:35 AM

tecky11 · 01-15-2012, 02:21 PM

small update for those are following. i have to notch the firewall 4 inches to fit in the engine bay. will also be replacing cab mounts and that should help a little bit too.

jbclassix · 01-15-2012, 05:29 PM

Back or up on that notch?

tecky11 · 01-15-2012, 05:30 PM

from the center notch section.

pickup67man · 01-28-2012, 12:32 PM

I love to watch a challenge.

tecky11 · 01-28-2012, 01:47 PM

and a challange it is. going to get startere tested today then going to try an start the SOB

tecky11 · 01-30-2012, 12:01 AM

still havent got the starter off. as soon as i do will get a vid up

tecky11 · 02-04-2012, 01:16 AM

ok got the starter off yesterday

had to modify a socket tho, cut it off almost to nothing, just enuf to grab, 1/4 drive 13MM. got the damn thing off now trying to find a pace to test it.
next question how do i fill the block? take the thermostate out and fill with coolant? then hook the rad up?

jbclassix · 02-04-2012, 01:59 AM

should have 1/4" bleed lines on it... maybe... I have been around too many C7s to remember too much about 3116s. I would fill through t-stat, but if I remember, Cat engines do air-bleed themselves durring filling... could just always fill with 200deg coolant!

tecky11 · 02-04-2012, 02:11 AM

want to fill block before i start so it has some coolant and dont crack anything. (enigne aint paid for yet)

Squareforceone · 02-07-2012, 11:47 PM

I love the old internationals and with a caterpiller even better!

tecky11 · 02-07-2012, 11:49 PM

well as soon aas i get the rest of my starter figured out i will let yall know.

spudz · 02-08-2012, 12:04 AM

OMG thats a big engine for that truck!!!! I love the cats! I cant wait to see it run!.

tecky11 · 02-08-2012, 12:22 AM

tecky11 · 05-07-2012, 12:24 AM

cAlvis165 · 07-23-2012, 06:55 PM

I'm in. My truck is a IHC '65 d1300, 4x4 with a 304. I'd like to swap in a diesel some day. I was thinking more along the lines of a 7.3, but I have to admit that CAT is going to be cool.

tecky11 · 07-23-2012, 07:08 PM

The cat is cool

but if you are going 7.3 use the idi version no HEUI bs to ddeal with

But can I get awesome horsepower without direct injection? I know you can boost the old 7.3 and 6.9s. But isn't the horsepower still much less than the "power stroke" diesels? I can't pretend to know much about diesels, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. Not trying to highjack your thread. You can answer by PM if you would rather.

He just doesn't like HEUI systems because of his Kitty Cat
