Re: anyone got any pics or info on a 6v53 detroit in a 86 c30
Will it fit? I've never seen a 6V53, but I have seen a 6V92 and it is a MONSTER.
EDIT: Here's a vid of some guys jacking with what they claim to be a 6V53. Might give you an idea of how big it is. Sounds pretty cool though!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xypigwaqwncEDIT: This is a vid of a 64 Chevy with a 3-53. Sounds BAD ASS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1EH8ys7sPUEDIT: Here's yet another of a guy whos got a 4-53T in a 89 Chevy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKfdwUywVA Last edited by Pyrotechnic; 07-26-2007 at 06:34 PM. |

I can get pics of a 4v53 with a 4 speed (78 Chevy C-30 dually 2WD) or a 3v53 with an Allison automatic (78 C-10 2wd SWB).

Re: anyone got any pics or info on a 6v53 detroit in a 86 c30
to pyrotechnic ............ a 6v53 is much smaller than a 6v93, a 6v53 is about the size of a 454 and just a little heavier. 6v53 = 318 cu.in 6v93 = 558 cu.in I have seen a 6v53 installed in a 92 gmc 3500hd so it should fit.
to 79silv4x4 .......... ya pics of those converions would be cool to see but they are much smaller than a 6v53 but i would like to see them. to 68gmc454 ........ a 6v53 is a detroit diesel

Man I'd love to have one of these pushing an SM465.
I'm not sure how much they go for used, but I know on ebay people treat these motors like gold. They seem to be very expensive in general. Last edited by Pyrotechnic; 07-27-2007 at 12:10 PM. |

My god that is AWESOME! I wish I could score a deal on one of these motors. The fit is actually pretty good.
