Duramax all the way buddy. I havent seen a 2wd cummins do what my truck can do. Also u will not have to worry about building the motor for that short time
the standard: rods and head studs to start, then pistons, cam, and heads if you want to go further into it.
Turbo and number of Cp3's is going to be determined by your local rules. Most have a 2.6" 2.8" or 3.0" classes. Very good turbos can be found to fit within the classes you want to compete in. Some places won't let you run dual Cp3's in the 2.6" class, some will.

The 6.0 Ford is the best.
It will puke coolant all the way down the track, and everyone who follows you will be mud bogging.
But that only works if you are first truck out.

Yea my grandfather past away a few years ago and my grandmother is giving it to me i believe it is between a 96 and 98 and i want to make it into a full out pulling truck. It is 4x4 long bed extended cab.
I have seen all the duramax motors make good pulling trucks but if you are on a budget a 2001-2004.5 lb7 would be your best bet :coal:
this is going to be a project for a while so i want to have the best of the best and there is no set limit i am going to build it as the money is there. so any input is a thanks
you will want to sell that 6.5.
Pick up a duramax with an LBZ on ebay. FInd a wrecked one or salvaged title - cheaper....
pick up efi live
send the trans to mike l @ inglewood transmission
then go to town.
Stew is right on the money. If theres no money limit then talk to someone like Brayden at Fleece Performance or BMS about getting a motor built for it.
:yup: the lbz is the best pulling motor if you dont mind spending the cash:chevy:
i am on the east coast delaware area you have any pics and what you have done and where are you located
