Thanks for your time and your detailed reply. It was exactly the sort of thing I wanted to know and tells me that this would be WAY more of a project than I need right now.
The truck will probably get a horse box back on it and will operate in the 8-12 ton range. The 466 and five speed trucks along at 80-90 km/h very nicely on the flat but hills are VERY slow so some extra power would be nice. Another option is a 500 turbo which I believe would pretty much bolt in. These are available ex military (at a price) but I guess the same axle load issue arises. I assume that going from 466 to 500 (non turbo) is hardly worth the bother?
