ThaddeusW Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I herd that Mack used to get there engine designs from Scania. Is this true? It would make sense since Scania still to this day makes a 16 liter V8 which is what the E9 would have been based on. And if it is would any of the parts form the Scania V8's fit the mack E9? Since the V8 parts are getting hard to come by this could be an alternative. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Andy Wright Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 ThaddeusWAgain, far more knowledgable guys will anwser but, yes, Macks engines were essentially Scania-Vabis engines. I know this was true from the early 50s but I seem to remember that it was also the case well before that.Hope someone can fill in the large gaps!CheersAndy Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

roadusercharges Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 In my MACK work shop manuals which date from 1978, there are photos of Scania Vabis 6cyl engines as fitted to R series Macks and all the repair and adjustment procedures that go with them. At that time the v8 was only rated up to 375 hp and doesnt show any Scania link, but there may well be more info on this.nigel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/247-are-mack-engines-scania-designed/#findComment-1036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
60 B-81 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Scania had patents for direct injection around the time the 673 came out, and Mack may have licensed these, among other technology.Also, the END475 was a joint Scania product.
