Just fixed it...I love computers...NOT - DuctapeExplorerGone in bad times; here in good times. Probably a tough sell. But it is good to have some competition for Ford, I think they've been lazy with updating the F53.
- holstein13ExplorerCompetition can only be a good thing for the market.
- KazooTomExplorerThat's good news. Happy to see that my chassis will no longer be an orphan.
- weathershakExplorerBring back the ole P32......NOT!!!!:(
- rgatijnet1Explorer IIIThe 8.8L engine is probably the PSI engine. PSI designed the engine to run on a variety of fuels, including compressed natural gas, propane and gasoline. The engine produces 430 hp. and 600 lbs.-ft. of torque at 3,400 RPM. This compares to the 8.1L GM engine with 340 HP and 455 lbs.-ft of torque at 3200 RPM.
My 8.1L engine has plenty of power but the new PSI engine, coupled with the Allison transmission sounds fantastic. - stvdmanExplorerChassis cahnges would be interesting...wonder what cahnges, if any, they would be making to the 8.8 Gas engine.
Missed that last post..if that engine described above got decent mileage, compareable to the Ford V-10 it would be a hit!
Currently have the 8.1 in a Kodiak Super C coupled to the Allison Trans. Its a somewhat heavy rig and the engine is adequate BUT its the Allsion that makes it so, in my opinion. If that 8.8 did have 600+ ft/lbs of torque at 3200-3500 rpm...I would SERIOUSLY take a look. - J-RoosterExplorerI read the article thanks for posting it Arch! But, it's unclear to me who the two engine manufactures are going to be for the small and big block engines? My Workhorse W-22 Chassis is no longer obsolete!
- LVJ58ExplorerWonder if they'll re-introduce the UFO rear engine gas chassis?:h
