Hell yeah!
What power level is that 3208 running?
The marine versions are up to like 450hp/1000tq, factory stock.
I haven't seen the truck, yet.
IIRC, the non-turbo was 210hp and the two turbo motors were 375 and 435hp. I don't remember what differentiated between the two turbo. It may have been that the 435hp was a marine application.
Since my truck is a turbocharged motor, I'm going with 375hp. The mechanic/fabricator says it pulled real good with the big box on it. He also said it would do a lot better without the box, smaller size and weight, and the governor removed.

Thanks. I have people in Bloomingdale. Do you know Randy Wood?
Do not know him yet as I've only been here full time since late July. Small town probably meet him eventually. I am just next to Roebling Road Raceway

Randy is my wife's uncle. He's a luthier and has a shop/store/pickin' parlor on US-80 between the Pooler Parkway and the Jimmy Deloach Parkway.

Well, it's only 215hp, but it really runs!
