DMorgan Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 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.
