Educate me, what’s a Smoot?
12 valve swap. Tune it for 350 hp/900 ft/lbs and never look back.
If I was planning on putting 450+ hp thru a 4L80E that is 20 years old with 275k miles I would have a good shop go thru it and put a good convertor in it, as well as a good set of frictions and steels. There are some upgrades that should be done to the valve body as well.
Why not just buy a one ton truck dually with a 454 if you like GM? I have a F450, with V-10, great motor if it will just run. My fuel pump is acting up, hope that is all that is wrong.
The '05 Dmax is an LLY, they have a tendency to overheat when under a significant load. I would try to find an '06 or '07 LBZ if you go GM. That is the cats meow. The early '06 had a crimped head gasket and they all fail eventually. The upgraded riveted gasket has proven itself. You can tell looking at the engine if the gasket has been done as there is one corner of the head where the gasket sticks out and the two designs are easy to distinguish.
I know the 6.0 power strokes have head issues. I'm talking about those that have been refitted w/ studs. They don't need to be 'bullet proofed, as that's a name brandHave an 06 getting new injectors being installed. It's also been deleted. Florida truck. No gooseneck ball. 220k miles. $15kAlso looking at a 05 duramax. Gooseneck ball.198k miles. $15.9kA 02 PS. 300k miles. No gooseneck. $10kAll nice trucks. All crew cab and automatics
