Its a shame Mack did not push the V8 more and they should have bumped the power like they did in Europe (565 HP) and Australia (610 HP. They could have then gave CAT and Cummins a run for their money but emissions were their downfall. I guess the engineering team wasnt up to snuff. Sad really when you think of how powerful the 237 was for its time (and in a way still is). Mack was really a leader in engine technology at one point.
its not the engineers fault,they were unable to fit a higher injection pressure system ,to fit unit-injectors or unit-pumps the would have to modify completely the cylinder block.
they could try common rail but this system was far from perfection in those years
