Hossbaby said that because 6.2's are low output engines and have a hard time keeping up with a BBC, I'll give you that one. A 454 cranks out more power than a 6.2 torque and HP.

originally posted by rjfguitarI would consider a Cat 3208 or 3116 if you are a really good fabricator and mechanic and don't mind using an Allison auto or Clark manual tranny. Next I would consider a 5.9 Cummins, then a 3.9 Cummins, and finally a 6.5 TD. I wouldn't go gas myself because it is so expensive to feed them and a diesel will outpull a stock 454 anyway, besides a 6.2 and stock 3.9 4BT.

originally posted by dirtwarrior17: not uphill...... maybe if your talking about stuffing a very expensive newer and modded to the max 5.9. The cat would be a good option but the allisons are serious bank.

my whole point was that a turboed 6.2 with more torque than a bbc will get outpulled when it has to face an incline. i was agreeing that newer cummins will out pull a bbc uphill and everywhere else.

A 454 will barely outpull a 6.2 that is turbo equipped. Steve Fox (that would be our administrator) has a Vortec 454 in his 3/4 Suburban, it pulls all the way down the 28MPH in some of the hills there in CO.

A stock cummins from a 1994 Cummins dodge with the NV4500 will outpull any stock 454 in any hill, both would loose speed going up a grade but the cummins will maintain a higher speed than a 454 and that is a FACT and you can take that all the way to the bank. I'm done with this thread because you think everything you know is the almighty truth.
