M123 and M125 10-tons

[Carlo]

Holy drugs and alcohol ! What ya want to know ? There big obsolete and about worthless ! Unless you want to buy one than they are super expensive. I got love crusher steel. The gas engine makes the most power the diesel loves to rev but blows up. LeRoi 844 V8 gas makes 297hp amd 725tq as where the Cummins V300 diesel makes 300hp and 580tq yep its weaker. Both tapped out at 40mph yea it crank up to 45mph but if the 50year old tires don't blow out the engine will blow up. Now one could swap the gas engine into the diesel truck and have one slow moving hard pulling beast, or put the diesel into a gasser truck and have one doggy puke of a truck that hit record speeds for a 10ton.The gasser had 9.02:1 ratio and the diesel had 10.11:1 ratio and NO there wasn't an Over Drive. Now what about hot-rodding the diesel ? Ha ! The V300 was a marine engine known as the V210 its already hot rodded they took a 2100rpm and jacked to 300hp@3000rpm sure ya can rap it to 3300rpm but only so many times and the whole thing comes unglued BOOM ! Best thing to do is get the 9.02 ratio truck pull the gasser swap a VT370 in its place swap a 9spd-OD behind that swap the duel 14.00-24s for singled 16.00R24 radial road grader tires forget about all wheel drive and happy running 45-50mph . . . They make great museum pieces and scrap steel

Would this be the same motor as the VT903?
