    Never justify your own builds , just because you want to / can is all anyone needs to know . I’ve got odd engines in odd cars , some like , some don’t but they are mine and one was a high school dream

    My dad built multiple trucks back in the late 70’s early 80’s. His first build was a 1969 C10 with a Toroflow diesel. His next build was 1975 f250 with the 3208 Cat. The F250 was a beast! Who cares what others say about your build, it’ll be sweet when it’s done regardless!

    You probably gonna want to make some kind of support to from the up pipes or the turbo back to the head, block or the manifold because that's a lot of weight for those up pipes to be supporting by then selfs they'll most likely Crack and brake from the vibrations and weight from my experience at least

    Pardon my ignorance but why is a 3208 seem so under powered? ~210hp out of a 10.4L seems crazy to me. I know it’s got decent torque numbers though. Sweet build!

      @STROKER-GARAGE I thought about a 6.0. The problem is that my only experience is with one that's a leaky pig that doesn't restart for an hour after being turned off. I'm sure Un abused ones are better, though.

All f250 with this exact body style.. Always cheap and rusty. Perfect for plowing, and to beat the hell out of towing trailers. I love that you think so highly of them like they are gold but you're flat out wrong.
