lol that owuld be a fun enine to cram into a F250 lol there was a guy here with a Clist add saying he had dozens of marine and truck detroits. I emailed him and he acted like he hated every one of them. I asked him about the 6v53. . he said they were realy unreliable. i asked hime about a 4v53 he said food luck finding one and then suggested i look for a navistar engine lol i just didn't respons after that. I mean i understand he probably only had the larger engines it was just more the disdain he seemed to have for the idea of a small truck re-power lol

p.s. this was not a repower for my beloved idi. just so ya'll know.

i think just a very tall cowl hood.

it will NOT fit in a pickup.The ad is wrong.It is considerably larger than a 6V53 and much heavier.But that is a EXTREMELY good price even for a core engine.Plus this thing has $500 worth of Jake brakes on it and it should be a 350HP being a silver series. oh yea,552 cubic inch 6 banger.

I have three of those 8 cylinders to deal with in the tour buses.

I'd rock that detroit in half a heartbeat... Snag an older F600 chassis and swap the cab for a four door version and drop that in with a 13 speed... I'm already drooling...

I used to drive boats with two of those in them. Run at gov 24 hrs a day, drink 600 gal of high sulfur #2 a day and last 40,000+ hrs without a problem. People used to say when they saw coal roll from the stacks something was going to move, or at least a piece of it.

I love these ol' Detroit motors. But, I seen one of those 8v149's at a scrap outfit, had a bowling-ball sized hole in the block.... I asked what had happened, they said it had ran away and threw a rod out the side of the block

That had to be a sight seeing an 1192 C.I. V8 run away and blow through the block!

OH yea Ithink I have an f600 or f750 perfect for that motor . 4 door cab in stock but need the 5x4 trans I'm a twin stick man all the way.

Man, there's somebody nearby that has an old Dodge heavy duty flatbed...looks just like this one:
