I want 1700 engine rpm, not 3400 engine rpm. It isn't practical to run a 6.0 (or 6.6) at 4500-5000rpm to attain maximum power. In practice a gas will not perform along side a diesel unless it's a large displacement engine that sucks fuel. In that case though HP and torque are comparable. Ask anyone that has driven both a 6.0 gas(GM) and a LBZ Duramax which one tows better, faster, less slowing down, and performs more reliably and the Duramax will win everytime. There is no comparsion, despite B&D saying that a 365hp gas will outperform a 305hp diesel. Let me lay out another scanario in which there is no room for denial. A 1994-1998 Cummins 6bt when in a Dodge Ram 2500/3500 made a maximum of 215 HP (rpm doesn't matter) A Chevy Vortec 305 makes a maximum of 220hp at a much higher RPM. Assuming they're each geared to work at peak rpm, a 5.9 will walk all over that 305. In every scenario you can put it in that fits into the purpose of a truck, the 305 won't perform and will die trying.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
