nhtrucka Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I found a nice little Mack R model 6 wheeler for sale and it has a Scania motor in it. I don't have a clue about these things. What are the pro's and cons of the scania motor? The truck is a 1970.Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullhusk Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 We had them in our MB 400's back in the early 70's some head gasket trouble thats about it but Mack started using them in there tandems R model dumps MB 600 25 YD garbage trucks, when they started over loading the motor thty did not last long.Ithink they were only 475 cu in Mack also had there own motor it was 465 or 475 they both did good in the single axle trucks as did the 413 Chrysler Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 If you like the truck, buy it. You can always replace the engine with a 237. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
