1917 4BT Cummins Conversion

1917 4bt Cummins  White Motor Company Touring Car Conversion The first automobiles were officially allowed into Yellowstone in 1915 (on July 31, a Ford Model T became the first to legally enter the park) and horse-drawn vehicles were prohibited by 1917. The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company (Y.P.T. Co.) was designated as the sole park transportation concessionaire and was required to buy 116 touring cars and motor buses for use in the 1917 summer season. These vehicles, like the stagecoaches, were also painted yellow and were manufactured by the White Motor Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Drivers were known as "gearjammers", and like their predecessors, the stagecoach drivers were among the best paid and most envied of concession employees. nps.gov toxicdieselperformance.com

Firepunk Diesel 68RFE Swap to a 48RE Transmission

Everything You Need to do a 68RFE Dodge 6.7L Cummins Transmission Swap. We get a lot of swap related questions, and that is great, we are here to help, but I wanted to make a post to help educate anyone curious about what all parts are needed to swap a 68rfe truck to a 48re. We have a complete Comp 1 transmission + parts and controllers kit listed online for $8737.90 (not installed).  You will still need to source a 48re core transmission and converter if you don't want to be charged a $1500 core charge. They continue to be harder to fin d so we'd rather have a 48re core then your core money. The kit includes the parts and pieces you need to complete a swap and additional options you can add to this kit are aux trans coolers, Comp2 or Comp 3 upgrades, and soon a Anteater Pro option over the Classic.  The driveshafts from the 68rfe are reusable, but the Tcase input shaft needs modified. If its a New Process Tcase (NP271/NP273) we can sell you a replac...

Nitrous Explosion 2000 Horsepower Plus Cummins

Dodge Ram Cranking out Some Serious Horsepower.  Diesel Power is the best power. When it comes to getting extra horsepower out of an engine, nothing beats a diesel power plant. In the video, you’ll see Shawn Baca’s Dodge Ram just annihilate a wheel dyno. Black smoke pours out of the exhaust through the hood of the truck like it is an old school freight train barreling down the dyno. This video was shot at the Edge Products facility in Ogden, Utah in September, 2015 where enthusiasts could bring their vehicles out and see how they stack up against each other. Shawn Baca’s Ram took the crown. Under the hood sits a highly modified 5.9L Cummins with lots of head work, FASS fuel pumps, Industrial Injection triple injector system, and a triple turbo system. Baca’s truck is set up with a full-blown nitrous system. Without the nitrous, the truck pulled 2,113 horsepower on the dyno. When hitting the nitro button, the truck screamed with 2168 horsepower. We’re talking well beyond big rig p...

1966 Chevy Nova Cummins Conversion

Hardway Performance owner Ryan Milliken dropped a few jaws at Lights Out 9 last month when he rolled his wild 1966 Nova to the line with a diesel powerplant under the hood.  Every pass the Nova would build boost while belching huge plumes of black smoke before it would rocket down the track while running in the X275 and Leaf Spring class action. Milliken’s Nova is stuffed with some of the best parts on the market and will be making some noise across the country at both gas and diesel races this season. Milliken’s Nova isn’t a new build; the car was campaigned by Mickey Tessneer and was powered by a ProCharged big-block Chevy. Interestingly. With the Nova, Gone is the bowtie engine and it its place a 6.8L Cummins-based bullet with a solid block. The rotating assembly uses a stock Cummins crank, Diamond pistons, and Wagler billet steel rods. The cylinder head is a custom billet unit from Wagler that has 1.500-inch valves and Trend pushrods, and a Hamilton Cams 207/220 camshaft is t...
