DT466 in an OBS - Diesel Forum

superduty4x4 · 08-27-2008, 10:43 PM

Somewhere I remember seeing pics of an OBS F350 with a DT466 stuffed in it... I think it was here but I can't find the photos now. Can anyone help me out?

so can a dt466 fit in a 97 f250 and be a daily driver?

It possibly could. It would take some really careful fitting & planning of the rad & intercooler. Other than that, there's always the smaller DT360, or Ford 6.6.
I hope to have my SuperDuty streetable, but I need an engine.

wonder if the dt466 can be cranked as hard as the bum cummins???????????

You should see some sled pulling. The mechanical 466 can and has busted out more power than a Cummins B has yet to make. But if you're talking just basic freebie fuel mods, the 466 can only get to about 270hp, whereas the Cummins C (8.3) can go to about 340hp. Also, the 466 is a little shorter stroke than the 8.3, and can live thru hitting 4500rpm. There's a couple places that sell EDM injectors, and getting a good high flow P-pump is pretty easy these days too. So, yes, you can make insane power from a 466.

I'd say thats about as much engine as you could cram in a truck.
