Re: DT360 into a squarebody?

The DT series of engines come from the AG division of International Harvester. The 360 is a dog. The DT 466 turbo w/ rotary pump was 210 HP & the next generation used a Bosh VE style pump w/ ATA charge cooler & If I remember right they were 245 or so HP. But the engine was produced before the front cap was reconfigured & so they split the radiator in two & was half charge cooler & half radiator.
DTs are VERY GOOD engines, have VERY THICK replaceable wet liners.
They DON"T like being run hot & lugging them will beat the main bearings & spin them. That's the two things they do, spin mains & gall pistons.
I have a 210 HP engine in a 1850 IH Loadstar w/ a BIG Spicer 5 speed & two speed axle across the road, can't remember what's wrong with it. These are some OLD ENGINES!
Oh yeah I might add HEAVY engines!
