You have driven the 400? I understand what you are saying; just don't agree.

No, I have to believe that you are still making assumptions based on your experience with the 331. The 400 is significantly better: 100ft lb more torque and at a lower rpm. It also has ten years of improvement over the OA331. Then, theres the advantage of no leaking injector pumps, drain...

That last statement is a little presumptuous. The 400 has more horsepower and torque than the LDT-465 at the multifuels peak horsepower rpm.

I have a bobbed gas powered M35. I have a distributor with a tach drive and the accompanying tachometer. Works fine but needs some kind of bracket. Does this bracket have built in lighting? Does anyone have one of the under dash tachometer brackets that they would like to sell? What are the...

I followed your post on the stovebolt site. Sounds like a great project. A KT is a lot of engine. How much longer is it than an 855 cummins? You seem to have gotten one for a good price at $7500. Most of the ebay sellers ask that much for a core. I for one, would still be interested in...

Is there any quantitative data to support the idea that the oil is bypassing the oil filters at high engine speed? I'd be real hesitant to try to increase the differential pressure. If you shim it up you run the risk of rupturing the oil filter, spreading filter media throughout the engine...

Re: RE: deuce generator vs alternator Generators, as used in the general automotive field, do not have permanent magnets for the field. While the field does have some residual magnetism, it is actually an electromagnet. Without it, you would not have any control over the generator's output...

Look here for an oveview of my swap: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=15085 The white 'super mustang' is the Reo design. The 6-200 would be the 400 cubic inch engine. The displacement should be stamped into the block just above the fuel pump (at least it...

My Dodge Cummins has 22:1.

The propane version of the OA331 had much higher compression (8.2 vs 6.4). I would imagine that you'd lose some horsepower without increasing your compression.

Keep in mind that being out of phase, their sum will not be the sum of the individual phases.

I don't think that this will get you what you want either. The two legs of three phase will not be in phase. This will affect your 240V appliances. Your 120-n-120 is in phase.

Power comes off the line through a center tapped secondary transformer. This is how you get 120-n-120. How are you getting the 'neutral' off of the generator? Without this, the voltage line to neutral will be established by the individual loads and will be unstable.

All of the R6602s that I have seen have cast iron intake manifolds?

There is a little specsmanship at work. The maximum gross horsepower is 200 at 3400 rpm (redline) but the governed rpm is 3200. The literature makes it clear that the engine should not be geared such that it is operating against the governor at all times (the cruising rpm is supposed to be...

Thanks for the comments!!! I haven't driven it enough to know fuel economy yet; will post that when I have some idea. I am expecting somewhat close to the original engine (hoping that the increase in displacement will be offset by the increase in compression ratio). There are five new...

Some pics of the entire truck. Needs some paint...

I spent the last week swapping out my OA331 for a completely overhauled later model OH200 engine. The OH200 is a later generation gas engine incorporating numerous improvements over the OA331: Larger mains (3.125") and rods journals (2.30") with hardened journals. Larger oil pump (15 vs...

IIRC, the cummins is three inches shorter than the Reo 331.

Some of the early "semi-diesel" engines had spark plugs. Early tractors and stationary engines burned kerosene once warmed up. Might work.
