JumperAndSon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sweet! I would love to have that. You hardly ever see extreme high-performance Mack engines. Someday I'm going to take a Mack/Scania ENDT-475 and put twin turbos and a built P-pump and totaly modify it to make like 800 HP. That would be cool.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24139-v8-racing-engine/#findComment-110843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadusercharges Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thats the only one i took, got engrosse d in talking to the owner and the mods it had, willl post some next week from my cobbers camera. the 375 motor was availible here in nz back in the late 70s,there are only a handful left running these days, and this was one of them, the block has had some gallerys blocked off and some new ones created, next outing is at taupo raceway in April, NZ vs Australia, there is also a Mack Vision running a tricked up 470 motor as well, which has been midmounted, the cab has hinges on the rear so that it can layback on the turntable, to gain access to the engine.It runs a 52ooolb diff from an English Foden Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24139-v8-racing-engine/#findComment-110891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
