If I'm not mistaken that one has been floating around the Atlanta area CL's for two years or so now. It sure looks like one I've seen in the past down to the missing rear fender flare. I wonder what the story is

Hope you rode Foothills, Cherohala and all the other little side roads too

You say that now, but the extra room may save you money and effort in the IC install itself. Otherwise it sounds like using the 6.0 setup will be a start either way since it's available in both front end looks.

It should be noted that aerodynamics plays a huge role. Those reporting lower teens for diesel mpg tend to be in ambulances and the like, while the higher teens tend to be closer to stock height vans.

The 6.0L isn't known for mpg, but makes good power. It basically replaced the 454 in the GM lineup. I recently sold a short bus skoolie that had one and got ~10mpg no matter what in the time I had it. If you want better mpg's the 5.3L is a better choice in most situations

That shorty isn't mine, but I have followed your thread. I'm not in the market for any of these upgrades yet, just curious if there will be a new entry on the market

Will your 4x4 conversion be available for cutaways like this?

Wonder how bad it is underneath. The cab looks rusted pretty well on both sides

They were originally windows. It seems they all leak at some point so it's not too unusual to fiberglass them closed instead. I know spencyg did with his.

That's an unusual Falcon

If it's anything like my 1990 Falcon, you already have an aftermarket mount in there that also swivels.

We can run studded tires here. Just heard them on a neighbors car tonight actually

Listing says the rear end was replaced 130k miles ago. Could have been changed at that time also.

The snow and conditions in general out here are quite different than in the SE. I'm curious what the answer will be, but I know I go a noticeable amount faster in the snw out here than when I lived there.

I seem to recall that CARB required engine swaps to be from the same manufacturer in order to even begin to be approved. Then again I don't think y'all test diesels, meaning you could use a diesel titled one to start from.
