V8 Cummins Diesel


Recommended Posts

Hey, yesterday I went and looked at a V8 Cummins naturaly aspirated diesel engine and a Brown-Lipe transmission. What I was wondering was what is the model of the engine how good is it and how good is the transmission. The only thing i could make out on the engine tag was the raised numbers.

This is about the order of them from top to bottom:

1789 V8 170

9-70 1214-00

3300 F048788

The guy said the engine has 470 CID. and 170 HP. It is 28 IN. wide & 44 IN. long.

The transmission is a Brown-Lipe

Model: 6352

Low Gear: 39.07

Serial #: T900157

If any of you could help me out with this, I'd appreciate it, Thanks, Daniel

The small V-9 Cummins have a reputation for not being the most reliable engine in its class. The trans is a Spicer with a low-gear of maybe 9.00 to 1 it would not have a first gear of 39.00 to one.Even if you put a auxiliary trans. brehind it with a deep first gear the reduction would be approximately 18.00 to 1 which is a low first gear.
