Whats wrong with your engine that you are looking for another? also thanks for the ebay axle spot, I have been looking at that one but I dont have anyone in that area the could hold it for me untill I could get to it. I have to work to support my mack hobby, HAHA. Let me knowFred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

Firemack Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hi Fred,My 464 spun #2 rod and the crank needs to be turned down to .30 and mains to .10-.20, recondition all of the rods and to top that off, I have .25 runout on the cylinder walls so need to bore it out sleeve and replace the pistons, adding up all that work and parts it makes more sense to look for a replacement block or parts block to get 1 good engine, since I can't find a new set of pistons. Since your truck has the pump panel it may have the same same chrome panel , mine has 2 gauages and the tach on the chrome pump panel. it is about 12" X 18" so if yours is standard it should be the same one, if yours had the optional gauges it won't work, but I may use some of the gauages as replacement parts. Does your truck still have the booster reels and any other chrome hardware left? I will try to take a digital picture and post it for you. Where are you located?Thanks,Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/102-b85f/#findComment-367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you located?Thanks,Firemack←tell you what I will do, I will post a couple of pictures of whats left and you can see if anything is there you want, most of the stuff you are asking for is long gone, although I did buy the truck from the hptowing guy, first name steve. He my know where that stuff went to. Good news on your engine, I was talking to a guy at a tractor show friday and he said that he pulled a motor out his mack back in the day and replaced it with a 673 diesel, he said it was about 450 cid, and it ran ok when pulled out. I will get on that for you, It still might be sitting in the corner of his shop or something. I am located in South west indiana.Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

Firemack Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Fred,I would like to keep it original, I did find one 1951 464 in Charlotte, so I can use the crank and pistons from that as donor to my block and may have the right parts, I can't tell until i get confirmation on the info from the owner. Thanks for the help!Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/102-b85f/#findComment-388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
