hmmm ... a V8 D40 .... now thats something to drool over.
I think changing the whole driveline would be in order with that amount of power on tap - as the diffs and transfer case will keep breaking ... (i know that the hard way - and thats only with a 2.5td under the bonnet)
Never going to live that down are you woody, Sounds like your not the only one. Dont know the exact story but heard last week that a goverment d40 did the same thing on a 4wd training course
A Titan 5.6l V8 is rated at 325hp. There's a 70+page build thread on the US Fronty forum on the V8 conversion. Turns out it was quite a bigger undertaking than initially anticipated.
It's not a herculean task to either boost the diesel yd25 d40 to 300hp, with more torque than the V8 to boot, nor is it that difficult to put a Stillen or South African Vortec based supercharger kit on a VQ40, yieling 300+whp.
It could be reasoned that these are easier power-up options than the v8 swap.
