1948 Diamond T Truck with 6.0L V8 Swap

Here we have a 1948 Diamond T Model 201 pickup with a 2001 6.0L LQ9 engine swap. The engine came from a 2500 HD 4×4. The transmission is a 4L60E from a 2005 van. The rear is a Dana 70 with 4:10 gears. The original model came with a 236 cubic inch inline-six motor rated at 91 horsepower and could only reach 45 mph. Something tells me this will be able to go a bit faster.

  1. I’m looking for a Hercules engine model CB-QXLD3 . What happened to the engine that came out of this 48 Diamond T 201?
