Im a diesel mechanic in ohio. Detroits were before my time but i really like them.I have a Dodge cummins but it's not a detroit. I'd love to put a 453 in a pickup. Any help on how would be appriciated.
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
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.
+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.
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.
@@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.
the 653 and 871 are my favorite Detroits
That's pretty hard starting. Must have been mighty cold there.
Thanks for the post! Love it!
OK!!!!!

not sure I would have swapped a Duramax for this, but I appreciate someone else's effort in a project like this
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

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.
I'll take my 5.9 cummins any day.
Same
@@JasonY02 yep. Same here
whare was this taken at?
what year is that engine?
what kind of adapter do you have on the transmission and were can i find one?

Thanks
Duramax???
no 453 detroit diesal
wonder if its still 4wd if it can be done and if its possible :)
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?
sniff of either would start faster less wear on started
Would slapping a Grid Heater like on the Ram's Cummins help this situation ?
