Strange one.

My searches high and low turn up some wierd stuff sometimes.

Now that is different.

The ad doesn't say which engine it has. From what little I can see of the valve cover, it looks like a 4-valve engine, though...certainly, you could have some fun with it!!

With the location of that pipe next to the oil filler I vote 6V53T with forward mount turbo.hmmmmm....

 

[ameristar1]

I'll go 4-53 or 4-53T for my guess; what's the prize if we guess right?

 

[f-two-fiddy]

Definitely a cool rig. I wonder what kinda fuel mileage it gets?

He needs to make a utube video of that thing rolling through the gears.

I'm in the market...if it had a front drive axle I'd check it out!

Looks like Freight is closest
53 series used the dimpled rocker covers that had #3 phillips screws---3 along the top and 3 along the bottom....


...altho that is not an oil fill but rather a breather cap with steel wool inside.


6v53T would have been a heavy *****...not to mention the 13 speed!

Got a chance to talk to the owner today, it's a 4-53T that the PO put in the truck with a 4+3 trans arrangement, it's geared really low (65 mph max). The old timer that had it was like 90 when he sold it.

So it needs a gear vendor then which will make it a 26 speed? Yikes, that is a lot gears!
