beatngu Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 what size engine would a b-42s take?/does any body know where to get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmartyn Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 On the B's, if it has an even number then the engine was gas. Odd number it's diesel. And the number originally designated the gross weight. A B42 was a 40,000lb gas powered truck or a B61 was supposed to be a 60,000 lb diesel powered truck. There are a lot of guys on this site who know Mack gas engines much better than I do and may have swaped gas with a diesel. Maybe they can tell you. Quote Ain't a Mack? Take it back!

b61fred Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 hi, I think the b 42 would have a 401 flathead gas engine. Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
