Re: 1985 c60 diesel conversion questions please help

Stay with the 12v like PB said... so much simpler, more reliable, and cheaper... and easy power.... as far as your tranny,,, 465 will hold up more than likely but the gear spacing is bad for a diesel... I have had two diesels infront of 465's. a 6.2, and currently a 4bt. They just dont work well with the power curve of a diesel. You are much better off with a close ratio trans that was originally behind a diesel such as a zf5, zf6, nv4500, g56, nv5600, or a med truck trans. Just my 2cents
