1970 Cummins, 5spd
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2016 3:19 am
I always wanted a Sweptline with a 12 valve (1996-1998) 6BT Intercooled Turbo Cummins but the engine bay is too short and it's hard to fit the intercooler even if you cut into the firewall.
I didn't want the 4BT due to the balancing challenge (paint shaker syndrome). It seems the Ford body worked well for this build.
I still love Sweptline's and I have a 1970 PW built up nicely as well.
But for this post, I'm showing my 1970 Ford... this is the general thread (for even the fish you caught as they say) so hope I don't offend anyone.
Original paint, NV4500 5 speed, A/C, Dana 70/60, married NP205, 12 valve Cummins 6BT from a 96 Dodge, boxed frame, 4 wheel disk brakes, Hydroboost, hydraulic clutch.
I've been getting over 20 mpg's and it handles like a dream. Easy to drive, strong as heck and I can rip most people off the line pretty easily.
