Slow and steady wins the race...
So your not going to turbo the 77 ?
You did read the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare" as a child didn't you.
Allow me to refresh your memory ..Tortoise ( diesel ).....Hare ( gas ).

Hit the nail on the head
Even with a turbo and intercooler it will not be the same as your turbo d gas pot

1HZ+T is still way behind you smelling of your exhaust smoke

1HDT,FT,FTE is not a Tortoise
2H probably
Yo Clint, Just remember we can actually go faster but it is so much fun to go slow just to p*ss off the gas burners who are stuck behind
us.
Apparently a finely tuned 1hz with a good exhaust, turbo, intercooler and boost comp will go quicker than a 1hd-t
A few weeks away with pulling on a turbo

What about a finely tuned 1hdt with all those goodies compared to a hz-t ?

Up for the challenge for sure.
I have a friend who just bought an 81 with an extreme vb, water to air intercooler and a 3" exhaust.
Turbo will be purchased in the following weeks here. We will see if the intercooler is in the cards right away.
Should go good when I have similar toys on. I am excited to take the truck for a rip and see how it goes in comparison to my truck and my old 81.
Sounds like your becoming the rabbit out of the turtle and rabbit story 
After wheelin in mates hz-t 105s,79s,80s and a couple of hdj80s the hdjs seem to have a bit more sting.
Would still be interesting to put hzt vs hdt to a test

I'll buy HDT
A part of me thinks that the 1hd-t with the vb auto would go better than a manual
Where I work the mines around here are only getting three month out of the turbo'd v8's and are buying up all the older cruisers they can get .
whats going wrong with them?
s***ing engines mainly .
One company I worked for trailed them for a wile and got rid of them got a few 78's and 79's instead and now are buying Nissans .

Didn't Nissan just release a v8 TD?
these trucks excel in harsh conditions
Making stuff more complicated definitely makes reliability go down.
