Re: want to race

A V12 turbo diesel in a Bronco? This I have to see. They use turbocharged V12 diesels in tractor pull vehicles and other large 18 wheeler type applications but have never heard of anyone doing such a swap. I believe BMW has also tinkered around with their own V12 diesel engine application but nothing has made it to production as far as I know.

What tranny are you running? No stock tranny could hold up to the torque generated by a 600 hp V12 diesel engine. The torque figures would be well above 1000 ft-lbs.....far too much for any Ford tranny to handle without substantial modification.

I'm anxiously awaiting the pictures.
