back to a 60

thats why chevy and ford upgraded the low revving straight 6's to 7 main bearings. .. its force that bends metal. while it will happen at high rpms, as there is more force, it will happen at low rpm also, if the pistons are producing force. ever see a low revving diesel 6 with 5 main bearings? no modern engines have the 2f design. its 1930's cost saving technology.

nickle is added to refine the structure and add toughness and wear resistance. pure iron is brittle. it has nothing to do with weight. maybe we should make engines from lead.

Holy crap. You do like to argue just to argue.
Adding nickel to an engine makes it heavier hence it ways more. Adding Nickel makes the block stronger. You're right, 2fs are a complete garbage motor.

the weight is a correlation, not the cause and effect you think it is. look up the definitions on the internet, it'll help you to converse.

heres some help, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy , dont worry, i reviewed it, its good.

i thought you were done?

Eh because you're such a ************ bag it's fun to participate. I love how everyone on here tries to be an engineer or metallurgist or what have you. But yet all you're doing is googling and copy and paste a link as if you completely understand it because you're an "expert." Then you try to talk down to me as if you have 20 doctorate degrees. But in reality you don't. If you'd stop being a turd and admit the 2f is a good motor. I'll leave. But according to you they are garbage and not worth a damn. On mud, you know the land cruiser site, there is much more love for the engine. But I guess what do they know. They aren't on expedition and are not the man known as Zimm. As you are an all knowing expert when it comes to all things in the Internet. I'm surprised my 2f has lasted 300,000 miles. After all it's just a boat anchor.

Consider the Isuzu 4BD1 or 2 engine for a 60. I installed a 2 in my 60 and have been very happy with the results.

Parts at any GM or Isuzu dealer, easy to find donors, fit well, good performance, 20 mpg range, 70 mph cruise with H55/3.70's/33's, AC, power steering, and cheap to buy and install.

Many have been done and documented on Mud - See mine below

I have well over 40k miles on mine and would do it again without hesitation. Search flcruiser on mud, he has 60's with a GM6.2/6.5 and one with an Isuzu.

Just an idea.
