He saw his chance after his Brother was offered two engines from combines. They inspected both engines and chose the best one, an Allis-Chalmers turbocharged 301 ci (4.9 L) diesel inline-six. The engine choice also carries a special place in Mitchell&#8217;s heart since his family always used Allis-Chalmers farming equipment on their farm. The diesel inline-six eventually found a home in Mitchell&#8217;s newly acquired 1978 Ford F-250. He mated the engine to a ZF5 five-speed transmission pulled from a 1997 F-250. The powertrain will remain stock for the time being but Mitchell plans to upgrade the axles and parts on the engine down the road.<\/p>\n<p><a
