I need a 6.7 expert to make the 2003 ford f350 crewcab dually the quickest and fastest diesel in the world.

You are probably best off finding a couple of Ford truck specific forums. We are almost exclusively knowledgeable on GMs, especially where building horsepower is the topic.

Im not the guy for that engine, not sure who would be. Kinda doubt one person would be.
Start looking online for fiberglass body parts. Might be like I had to do and find a guy that knew how to do custom fiberglass for boats and pay his shop to do it. Maybe there is a company you can just pay the setup fees that will continue to sell fiberglass parts after they make it for you so they can lower your cost by getting more profit on future sells. US Body would be my guess.

There was a guy on the hummer forum that had repo hummer doors made of fiberglass. Think he only paid about 2500 per door, but they are flat. Yours would probably be around $4k each would be my guess. I can try getting info where he did it if you’re serious

I did a bit of reading last night btw. Most of the upper end 6.7 have about $55,000-$65,000 into them.
Unless you already have some testing done that no one else has figured out or some magic combo- you’ll wuickly be into $80,000 on an engine that WILL NOT last more than one season.
How is your trans right now?
Just be sure this is what you want before starting. Some folks just don’t realize what it takes...
Remember Enzo Ferrari said he never wanted to sells cars. He only did it to pay for his habit.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Seems strange - wanting to build a "dually" drag truck and thinking light weight at the same time.. the logical thing would be a tube frame, short frame truck seems like... but go for it, let us know how it works out... fastest in the world should only be in the 500K area....

I just figured the duals goes for a single slick.
But yeah, 500 is about right if the whole truck needs built

A crew cab dually drag truck is kinda pointless if your trying to build that fastest truck in the world. I would look into the ODSS rules and regulations for what class you want to run. But your going to have a hard time competing against back halfed, standard cab short box trucks.
Also ditch the 6.7 Ford and get a 6.7 Cummins if you want to compete. The fastest trucks in the world... all Cummins powered.

I was envisioning using the length to his advantage like a funny car. With his seat closer to the back door and engine/trans coming back towards the normal front seat area.
As for going cummins- I was under the impression he wants the fasted in 6.7 truck in the world. If he wants fastest over all he is spending closer to a million. How many companies spend a million happily trying to get advertising of the winner.
Definitely checking current rules. They probably don’t allow half of what we used to do back in covered wagon days when I played- haha. We called it the 1/4 mile because get this- you actually raced one quarter or a mile!! Haha

When I read this comment I was assuming he was going for the fastest diesel truck in the world. But even the fastest 6.7 ford is going to take alot of cash.
Setting up a dually to be like a funny car would be a cool idea. But that would put him in the promod class. Firepunks Cummins power s10 holds the world record in that class. I believe a 4.13 1/8 mile pass. Not going to even come close with a 6.7 powered dually ford.
