Project possibly

[FordGuy100]

So, this is a truck on my grandparents property. I have no idea how long its been there, but ever since I have seen it I've always thought one thing....I should IDI it!

It has been repowered with a Diamler Chrysler Nissan diesel. It is only 3 cylinders, try to figure that one out. In one of the pics you can see the 3 injector lines going into the head. It isnt the SD-33, if I remember right it was like the SD-44 or something. I have found absolutly nothing on it at all. Its probably some industrial thing. Its rated at like 100hp. The motor is siezed up, I was told it was dusted after a rebuild or something like that.

Its a 3/4 or 1 ton, I forget. Its registration is long over, but it says diesel under the fuel part of it, so if I did get it running that might make it a little easier. Plus its an automatic, but in the cab there is a big ole gear shift, maybe an overdrive I could use in my truck .

Best part is is the truck is free, all I have to do is go and pick it up anytime I want.

That looks like a really old F250 or 350, probably has a C6 in it. If you want to, could be a neat project, people love those 70s F-series trucks and man are they built tough. I cant imagine how bad that thing must have sucked with a 3 cyl. diesel in it, when it should have had a 3208 CAT an IDI, a Cummins, or the gas engines of the day 390 or 460/ 427

If you have the time and the means to do it then i would!

Well it was a gasser stock, thats for sure. This thing was shoe horned into its position, I dont know why, and yes I bet that it was crazy slow.

I honestly dont think it would be to hard of a project. I think I might just have to do it

I like the OoOld ford rat rod it

Oh, and I'm pretty sure it is a 1972 model year if I remember off the registration right. It would take a lot of work, but its doable

Forget about it, just send it My way and I will restore it for a better use

That looks sweet do it

Looks like 110 hp on that tag, Chrysler-Nissan means it's a marine engine. A quick search online turns up that they only built 3-4 series of 3 cyl Nissan diesels, and that definatley doesn't look like a SD series engine, and the HP ratings don't fit either.
I think that's a UD3 2 stroke engine, it sure has the look of something designed in the 50's, and the HP rating is right. I just can't find a picture online to confirm it.

. Thanks for the info man, you found out way more than I did . Yeah, its probably a 2 stroke, has that look to it. It looks like a big boat anchor to me, way to underpowered in my opinion. I must say though, it has a big turbo on it for being a 3cylinder, its bigger than my turbo on my truck.

I wouldn't judge it too much before you get it running, 110 hp stock is the same range as a 3-53T Detroit, and a 3.9 Cummins. Did a bit more digging and found the HP peak is @ 2200, TQ is 330 @ 1400. Hardly a boat anchor.
Judging by the pre turbo pyro, and full compliment of guages, I'd wager a bet that it ain't stock. Would definitley be interesting to make that puppy run.

Can you post up some links to this site?

Looks like a little torque monster, have you seen what displacment is? I bet an overhaul kit would be hard to come by.

You guys sre looking at the wrong truck.I'l take the older one in bone stock restored condition.

x2 on that one! It would be an awesome project . Got any specs on it?

 

[Darrin Tosh]

I have actually see one if these trucks with the 3CYL Diesel on E-bay last year. Looks like a cool project!

It might have been a more useful powerplant than I think. It would be an excellent diesel for an F100 or F150. I just am stuck with the idea of no displacement for displacement.
