Pretty much what FJH said.   Few years ago I bought a sight unseen 82’ R model that the seller stated that he had an E7 installed into it and new frame rails 5 years prior.  Get there to pick it up with the lowboy and low and behold it was not E7 but an old 2 valve motor.   That’s when the renegotiating started.  The cab was shot and I was essentially buying it for the frame and the engine.   

Yeah this is my first big truck and don’t really know what I’m looking at and having a heck of a time getting any numbers I find to match something on the internet.

possibly  ! have a look It could be anything from 275 to 350 what trans does it have?

If it has a 12 speed behind it ! will likely be a 350 ! if it has a 8 or 9 0r six speed it may be a  285M   300 M !

8ll trans 

What would the horsepower be?

E6.

How can you tell? 

I’m looking for the engine info for my 89 RD688. The number on top of the timing cover is 8P1393. I have tried and tired to figure out what this mean with no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
