New motor for my truck

[leadman]

Some of the big haul trucks in the mines have decent size engines in them. I used to work for Cummins and got into places that had some big engines. Most were Detroit Diesels back then.
I was overseas and saw an engine in a power plant that had hatches on the side so you could walk in and inspect it.
I worked on the starter engines for natural gas turbines in Michigan the were 500 hp v8 diesels. When we had to tear the diesels down they would start the turbine and with it running we would do our work. There was a 3" fan shaft that ran vertically by the rear head about a foot or so from the back wall. I was 160 pounds and the only mechanic that could fit back there. Fun stuff.

Right now here in Phoenix diesel is cheaper than gas.

mud,,, most likely.
airc the tucker cars used helicopter engines also and were pretty fast.

Nope wern't no Tucker engine. They used regular gas engines in all of the ones I personally saw at their assembly plant. Helio choppers weren't known when Tucker went out of bizniz. Howsome ever Jay Leno may have one like you are thinkin about in his little garage. Check with Jay.

Yup, it was a copter motor. The sports car in that Aussie A-bomb movie was a lycoming. Looks like jump on Corvair, huh.

Chances are, you'll have to get a lift kit for your cab AND FRAME. Tires "might" need to be upgaded, too.

its out and on the back of the truck so whatever it came from either needed it rebuilt or a new motor so that kind of narrows it down to a ford product of some kind

[shdwlkr]

Nope not a ford product its all in one piece, not much oil dripping off it and most of all ford has had a challenge building/buying a real diesel engine, then again it might be there first real engine in their F350 long nose big foot truck.
