I'm starting to build a new shop, 30x30 with 12' ceilings. This is inside a pole building.
It won't be insulated on a/c, if I need heat I'll install a wood stove.
I'll be using "trusscore" wall and ceiling boards. https://trusscore.com/products/wall-and-ceilingboard.html
Anyone use this...

I saw this on a FB page, notice how thin the block is where it broke.
Another contributing factor is how deep the cylinder is bored, way to deep for no good reason.
This is a lat block with the 10mm outre bolts.
I think splayed caps on a not already cracked block will prevent this.
I need more light in my engine room, it's 25' X25' with 8ft ceilings, I had 4 - 8ft florescent tube lights but they are going bad and I want to replace them with a BRIGHT led type.
I'm guessing led's have come a long way now so I want those of you that have been around them to guide me...
I...
Anyone know the thread size for the big nut that screws on the w/p for the newer pumps? I'm going to thread a plastic pulley for my electric w/p drive on my run stand.
We are now able to offer brand new 6.5 bare blocks to our blueprint build customers.
Right now this is for customers interested in our builds, these blocks are getting very hard to find in good shape.
These blocks would get the same treatment we now offer, splayed main caps, halo girdle...
I am getting ready to swap back to a auto tranny, I don't have the stock cooler or lines so I need to figure out a cooler.
I really don't want to add another cooler in the cooling stack, so what about under the truck ? Pros and Cons welcome....
I am leaning towards the Derale kit below and...
@DieselAmateur
Next 506 build ready for assembly.
This customer wants a all out maximum strength and power build.
Short list of mods.......
Block has been line bored & honed, splayed main caps, Halo Girdle, fresh cylinder hone, fire ringed deck, block decked, short filled block, total seal...
Is anyone is able to post pics of the tranny cooler brackets for a 91-93 truck so I know what I need to look for. I believe the cooler is the same as the oil cooler but I haven't confirmed yet.
I have talked with a local diesel tranny builder about what I want built. Below is his quote, is their anything else I need to have done?
I do plan to use a billet flexplate. He wants to "over build" due to my expected hp/torque with the new motor, I'm good with that as well. I trust this shop...
Due to recent medical happenings I may be swapping my dually back to a auto tranny.
I'm almost sure all the wiring is still on the truck, I do have a new TPS and vss, it was a auto from the factory and the po swapped it over. I will need to find the linkage stuff as I don't have that...
I'm...
Well it looks like my t case has broken again, replaced it with a high gear rebuild 2 1/2 yrs ago, 4000 miles on it, yep it's out of warranty...
I think it is the clutch coil...
anyone know of a high quality rebuild kit ?
Just a FYI here....
Last week I got a call from a Cometic engineer, we have talked many times about the 6.x and other engines over the years and he knew I use their gaskets on some builds so a heads up was a nice thing on his part.
They have removed the head gaskets for the 6.x from their web...
Hypothetically, a person doesn't want to chop up a radiator support or add more to the cooling stack to install a A/A charge cooler, about the only place is the skid plate area...
SO.....
The cooler will sit above the crossover and be about a 40* angle, not the best for air flow but would...
