FOR SALE OR TRADE 1965 864 MACK V8

[Jocko]

hey guys the b815 that I just bought has a v8 but I wanna put a 237 or a 676 in it. the v8 runs great it is a very smooth motor it burns a little bit of oil through the valve seals. but other than that the motor is solid. I would like to maybe trade for a 237 or a mack engine similar to that. but im also willing to sell. im not sure how much a motor like this would go for but if your interested just make me an offer. the motor is still in the truck so if you wanna come by and hear it run, let me know.

[Bigdogtrucker]

Why not sell the truck and get another?Be a real shame to pull that engine out,just my opinion....

[JTFormula]

That's kind of a rare beast. It would be a shame to swap that out. By the way, you are local to me. I lived in Middletown for a bunch of years.

[Jocko]

well I figured somebody else with an old v8 could use it for parts or repair it.

[Superdog]

They only made 220 B815's,don't pull that engine,please.

[Jocko]

I know I really do feel bad about wanting to do this but its so hard to find parts for these motors and if something major ever went I would be worried about finding that part

[thomastractorsvc]

Wait until it explodes, than worry about finding parts and or another motor

[Jocko]

I know id rather get it done and out of the way now

[thomastractorsvc]

truck wholesales in Wellsville KS has two Mack V8 Motors unless he scraped them already, I have dealt with him before so watch yourself https://plus.google.com/113247088601947889044/about?gl=us&hl=en

[fullfuel01]

Would that truck be my truck twin?? Vin number please!

[theakerstwo]

what ever you do and if you pull the engine don't hurt the oil pan cause one from a F model is different.

I agree. Keep it as built from Mack. It is worth more with the V8. Sell this one and look for another one.

[leversole]

Okay, just to go against all of the others for selfish reasons...if the price is right I would be interested as my 1965 B-615 came with that engine! One truck loses, another truck gains? Does that make it easier to swallow?!?

Worst case and he doesn't listen,that's the best solution...

[mack mhe9]

I understand not wanting to take it apart yet that would be nice in Leversole's B.. I can hear it now in the mountains of PA with straight pipes.

[BAD DOG]

I agree leave it original. Maybe pull the heads off and get a machine shop put a few guides in them and just touch them up a bit, but I'd leave the V8 in it.

[Vladislav]

If the truck is for hobby just keep it as is and put your hands on other areas.

Then drive it for some time about 1-2 years and come back to the matter.

[Jocko]

the thing is I plan on going to work with the truck in Newark doing local city work hauling concrete debri. and if I put that motor to work and something major goes im F*CKED

Then pull the engine and put it in "mothballs" so it can be converted back one day.

You honestly gonna "work" this truck?If so you'll need to put some serious cash into it.If I were you i'd get another truck for work and either save this one for a hobby truck,or sell it to the right person.

[Maddog13407]

agreed. Sacrelidge to pull the V8 out of an original V8 truck. put it on the block and find another B81. they seem to be popping up and can be bought running with a 237 already in them

I realize I'm weird but when it comes to rare stuff like this you really gotta do whats morally right sometimes. I bought a V8 MH ,gonna knock it in the head,rough as a cob,just wanted the E9 to put in a Superliner. Lo and behold,turns out the MH was an original Magnum,only 64 made.Rare truck,just like the B815. It's still together, and will stay together so hopefully someone will restore it (it's been for sale quite awhile)if not,I will get it done someday.

You wouldn't buy the Mona Lisa just because you wanted to use the frame for another painting,would you?

Can you get any pictures of them? If you could also get the vins on them and send them to me.

Thanks, Josh
