Repower project for deuce get underway

[m-35tom]

just love V8's so am repowering Millennium Reo. this will probably be a long project as i started looking for an engine 4 years ago!! adding twin turbos and oil cooling for pistons.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Wait a sec. I'm confused a bit. Wasn't Millennium Reo sold when you built the M621 or are you building a new one??

 

[m-35tom]

well, yes, that was the 3208 and was MkI, this is MkII

 

[Recovry4x4]

Ah ha. I guess I wasn't taking notes! Should be an interesting venture with much awe.

 

[gimpyrobb]

The story of the motor is pretty interesting too. Might want to fill in the folks that will follow this thread.

 

[swbradley1]

Wait, someone has put a 3208 Cat engine in a Deuce?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Multiple peoples! At least Tom and tom(m35 tom and Spicergear) have, maybe some others.

 

[Recovry4x4]

There is a 3rd guy that did a 3208 but I can't recall who just yet.

 

[swbradley1]

I have a running take out Cat 3208 and transmission. I didn't know there was any use for one.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Sounds neat, I will certainly follow! Very nice paint job on the engine.

 

[m-35tom]

well, someone will have to guess at what motor this is and it won't be that easy for most. no prizes. but it is pretty isn't it??

 

[Recovry4x4]

Resembles a M.A.N. to me!

Looks like a "Cummins" V8 , but I haven't worked on one in over 18 years so the memory is getting blurry .
