Still Trying to Identify What Engine Is In My Deuce

[rneely]

I have a 1970 AM General M35A2
The aluminum plate on the right front of the engine block is clean except for this stamped number 3876200. The block has 11.6.70 cast on it. Any ideas as mfg., type engine, where I can look to id? It has a turbo charger, so is this a Continental LDT-465-1? Thanks for any help.

RE: Engine Pictures So Far

have no idea who made it but its a multi fuel 2.5 ton engine. ldt 465 1c with a coolant leak.. better get that checked out.

Looks like a standard LDT-465 Multi with a C turbo and a thick deck (TD) block. The thick deck is desireable.

It could be a Continental, Hercules or White. They are all the same engine

I would have to guess the motor is a Hercules. Just a gut feeling. You do have a coolent leak. From the pictures it is hard to say where it is coming from, the fan blows the coolent all over the place.

DEFINITELY a "D" turbo!

Agreed on the turbo ID.

 

[SasquatchSanta]

My apology.

I glanced at the wrong end of the turbo.

Sorrry about that --- the 60s were good to me!

Does nobody run a piece of hose on the end of the slobber tube?

I did, before installing the crankcase breather filter. Now the fumes go back into the air intake....
There is a PS magazine note on the slobber tube extension.

 

[jwaller]

yes I have one. goes beyond the bottom of the front axle.

 

[Westech]

oops my bad... yeah D turbo... the Army has not been nice to me.. traveled over 3000 miles in 6 days so far.

Yes. I put an elbow in the end of the tube and ran a hose back approx 30". I made sure that there was an incline so water/ice can't form in the tube.

It doesn't bo much good. A lot of odor still gets in the cab especially when idling now that I'm not running a fan. The other day the smell was so bad I crawled under the truck to see if I had a blow-by problem. I don't. Even when these engines are new they have bad breath. I'm going to install a breather like Bjorn did.

Yep he needs at least a 12-13 inch length of 1-1/4 inch rubber hose on that port if for nothing else to keep crap off the engine. I replaced mine with a longer length than was on it so it would go down past the axle and slobber on the ground. I like the idea that Bjorn did...wish I had thought of it when I had my truck.

I do, a genuine memphis Equipment one!


BTW where is the TD stamp located?

It's on the passenger side of the block, up above the engine data plate.

Happy hunting.

More Pictures TO Help ID this Engine

So far it looks like there is agreement that this is a LDT-465-D turbo. Manufacturer still unknown. Does the number 3876200 on the aluminum plate mean anything ? I need to get more light in that area because I think I see some more data on the plate but it is very faint.

Yes, I did have a coolant leak due to a split lower radiator hose . It happened on my way home from picking up the truck at the gap. Got a new hose from Memphis Equip. and made it home ok.

Where can I learn more about the TD thick deck block?
