What stall convertor do you run with one of these in a race application? And does a 47R have a Trans brake full manual valve body available? All the pro cars stage using a TB and the bump box...

I am just trying to learn a little...I have a fully prepped 727 sitting here right now. Obviously I would call one of the big names and take with one of them on handling big torque, but it seems the diesel guys are in a minority and not much info is available.




I think before we can really give any solid advice, we need to know what you're planning here. 12 valve, Common rail, or P-pumped 24 valve? Single or Twin turbo? What kind of power do you want to be at? What restrictions are there in the class you want to run, or is it just a run for fun truck? Nitrous?

I think you'll find that when you start researching racing a diesel you can take a lot of what you know and throw it out the window. It's a whole different world.
