Provisionally for sale, buying in a truck from the states and just sorting out shipping with the seller

In the truck is an 8.3L Cummins ISC which is like a 6BT on roids!

Gauging interest really, if someone wants it I'll take a deposit when the truck lands in the UK and the rest once its been removed and palleted.


It'll come with an Allison 5 speed auto with all the wiring, I'm ripping it out and breaking the truck up for parts basically


Long story short.......bought some Rockwells off a seller, got offered the truck off him for a bit more as it would include everything I need and it turns out its pretty cost effective, don't need the engine or bodywork so thats all up for grabs/scrap


Probably in the region of £1500 ?
 
hell that will never fit into a Defender, Darn thing weight 2000 lbs and trans is another 750-1000 lbs.

That is a lorry/commercial truck engine

out of army trucks

I'd seen the heavy ind. uses, looks good for gennys etc but at pushing 3/4ton I'd have thought landy applications would be limited (Perentie appn? :rolleyes:)...

Probably more use in a mog/c303 or a 'rodded Optare "loaf tin" bus... :D :rolleyes:
 
As far as I can find a dry 300tdi is about 200 kg and afaik a 3.5v8 is about 300kg wet (I await clarofication :)).

As hard as the 101 and 130 are, *if* the Cummins v 300 Weights are *owt* like accurate, I reckon half a ton extra over the front axle *may have an adverse effect on handling... ;)

Hell motor, trans ( allison) radiator, innercooler, and trans cooler, oil cooler and all the fluids is tipping the scale at close to 4000lbs . Will be hard on the axle,springs,wheel bearing, and swivel balls won't handle the weight
