    Ruff stuff this is a crazy build i love it. All the comments about the music, so what. I didn't mind the music one bit. But a 3208 cat running a distributor awsome. As my Dad would say. ""Thats using your head for more than just a hat rack"" awesome keep it up

      @@jameswest673 i think some (or all) pulling class' have a weight restriction. being the motors not all the way up front if they ran a heavier engine they wouldn't be able to hang as much weight on the front to keep the nose down if it was needed.

      I’d say the reason they didn’t go with a good ol 3408 is because depending on what class they are running the motor can’t exceed a demented cubic inch like 640ci . The 3408 is 1000cu while the 3208 is only 636ci. I want to do the same thing but with a 3306b instead of a 3406b once again because of the class I would be in. The 3306 is 641 while the 3406 is 893. It all depends on the class requirements.

    That's really interesting that it's got a distributor is that because it runs on alcohol now? Also do you have to add a throttle body? I didn't see one in any of the pictures but that doesn't mean it's not there. Awesome video wish it was more video explaining some of what you're doing.

Hell the best pumper I ever ran had a 3208 and a 1200 gal.per minute pump. Ran a nurse truck with a 3500 gal tank on it, with the same engine. People expect to much out of them, but for a 10 wheeler they are a great motor. Just got to remember, normally aspirated they only put out 200 to 250 horse. With a turbo,I think they were 300 horse. Never ran one with a turbo, myself,heard they didn't last long turbo charged. The tanker I drove had 550,000 miles on the clock,never rebuilt. We use one as an irragator motor on the farm I work at now. Will sit and run 12\18 hrs at 2100 rpms,and use less fuel and requires less maintenance than the 35,000 bucks JD purpose built motor we have. Just gotta use them as intended.

      @@tomcline5631 They did very well in marine applications. Water/water heat exchanger, water cooled exhaust manifolds and water cooled turbos. Anything over about 20 PSI off the turbo and you were doing head gaskets often. The fix is to O-Ring seal. In marine applications they can get close to 450 HP and run all day in sport fishing boats running off-shore.. All the BS about throw away motors is nonsense. But they are not the best BIG truck engine. It's all about thermal management. In trucks they get a lot of heat transfer back from non-cooled exhaust manifolds and turbos. Also in marine applications they get bumped to 2,850 governed speed. In go faster boats the can run 3,200 all day. The bottom ends stay alive, even at those speeds : )
