New motor for my truck

[crabo]

I am trying to figure out what it came out, so I can get an adapter kit.

[tomme boy]

Looks like out of a train.

[runfiverun]

looks like the 2,000 hp ones that is used on a frac pump.
16 cylinder [single or twin turbo]
depending on it being either a cat or detroit.
they were pretty de-tuned and set to run about 2,000 rpm.
you might could adapt it to a detroit or allison transmission.
they run automatic transmissions and you shifted them electronically or pre-set shift points in the computer.
you should see the ones with two of those mounted on one trailer with 2 pumps when they were up and running full bore you couldn't walk between two trucks as they would set up a harmonic vibration and mess with your equilibrium.

You're going to need a bigger garage.

Natural gas compressor station has some big engines as well.

[jimkim]

It's from the ultra rare '78 Ford Courier GT.

[koehn,jim]

You don't think it will fit my F150?

About 15 years ago we did a crewcab Chevy dually that a girl put a French helicopter engine in the back seat and bed. She used it for show at dirt track races. I never got the pictures from her. She was going to have it photographed professionally, so I never took pictures. She drove a jet dragster as her regular mode of transportation. I wish I could remember her name.

[runfiverun]

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

[Lloyd Smale]

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 ;)

[41 mag fan]

That was the motor I had on my moped.

Wasn't enough HP in it, so I sent it off to get rebuilt.

I truly love the sound of a finely tuned V8....that being said; sometimes too much of a good thing....

[LUCKYDAWG13]

ya but does it have a Hemi

[popper]

The air filters on the side of the CC make it a stationary. Is that a big or small block Chevy?

[Moonie]

generator??? I work around data centers and the genny's have engines that seem that size when they fire up. When I worked in Charlotte at a DC we had one that was rated at 2.5 Megawatts, would run at 150% for 24 hours and 200% for 5 hours.

Looks more like the motor out of a '60's Ford Maverick.

There is an independent diesel service in my small town that does work for one of the tug boat companies on the Kerr McClellan Navigation Channel. They do work on site, but when too extensive they yank the engine and drop in another one which puts the tug back on line with shorter down time. They always have a rebuilt spare sitting in the shop ready to go. Those tug engines are a little bit more than your standard F150 P/U engine, for sure. Nice guys, too. They didn't mind a bit doing a head job on my 3cyl Ford diesel tractor. I took the head home, put it all back together, and it's been running ever since.

[popper]

Are you sure that is not a stationary air compressor?

And a bigger credit card - diesel ain't cheap...

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.

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.

[popper]

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

[Y2K]

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

:bigsmyl2:

[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.
