I realize that these engines are DI and therefor verboten for the true belivers on this board, but does anyone know anything about them? I'd love to find a smaller diesel engine for a mid size car or 1/2 ton truck project. Thanks

Once again, its one of those deals where the rest of the world gets them and we don't.
the 6cyl motor is the next gen up from what "aussiedave" has under the hood in his ford.

That little thing looks sweet. Looks like it has a Bosch VE injection pump to boot.
That 6 cyl looks real sweet. Wonder if one would fit in my '93 f350

You can thank the tree huggers from out your way for not being able to have them............ Jim

I can think of a few places to shove them tree huggers. they all should be shot with a ball of there own $hit

That's a pretty small engine for a straight 6, around 170 cubic inches I think. They would have to be for light duty trucks.

There is so much more available outside the U.S. Heck, everywhere but the U.S. you can get 4 door Rangers (made overseas).

every where but the US they need small engines for small vehicles that latter they will overload bc they are just that smaller vehicles some with more doors but still the same small engine that not allways will take it. I had a perckins 4cyl on a 1963 f100 once, you could get lots of miles out of that engine but try to go up a long grade hill. The big Rigs are here.

I got ahold of the guy selling them. That 6 cyl looks like a nice drop in alternative. Since they put those in ford trucks elsewhere, would probably only need some motor mounts and a fan shroud to match it up.
Heres what he sent me:

"Good to hear from you.
As we have just had the adapters finished there is a world wind of questions being thrown our way.
There is the 185 HP 366 FT LB of torque at 1600 RPM inline 6 that is found in the F-250 of South American fame.
It is built by a company that International Engines just bought/Joined forces with.
This engine uses a ZF 5 speed that is SAE#3 flywheel housing.

Depending on your use of the F-350 it might be the ticket.It does not run any computer system of management."

I'm starting to drool

I'm drooling also. ouuuuu

A 2.8L Power Stroke eh? Very interesting. If I had one of those, my Ranger would not be safe..... :Sly

 

[dbarilow]

yea but would you want to go through the trouble of getting it inspected?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

It's not even a matter of getting inspected. To be legal, each engine / transmission / axle ratio has to be EPA certified. That is why there are so few engine choices in each vehicle compared to 40 years ago when you could get a half dozen different engines in a car or truck. The Mustangs you could get anything from a 170 I6 to a 429 big block. Now you have, what, 2 choices?

 

[RLDSL]

In my state they don't have inspections so........
there's still all kinds of interesting vehicles rolling around here

How hard would it be to get parts for this engine?
