Detroit Diesels (pardon me :D)

Hey everyone,
my monte is always my first priority, however i've been looking at diesels lately to put in an old chev 1 ton, and came across the detroit two stroke diesels, like the 4-53t and 6v53. HOLY they sound amazing and the torque at even under 1000 rpm is rediculous! Anyone here have any experience with these monsters?

I drove a friends Cummins diesel and that thing is flat out MEAN! Always loved going to the drags watching two diesels pull off 11-12 seconds in the quarter. Looks like two locomotives going down the track when they put their trucks in AWD.

this guy i worked with threw a 4-53 in a jeep it was putting out like 170hp and a lil over 400ft lbs at under 2500. but there aint nothin like a cummins. last i seen this guy he has a cummins turbo diesel in a 80 d series pickup. if i ever did a diesel swap i would go cat or cummins.

The cummins is probably the best power/weight ratio, i know the detroits are heavy, and know nothing about cats.

Check out this video of a detroit tho, just rollin coal!
