burnin oil Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I am picking up a 64 B73 concave cab for a parts truck and it has a ENDL 673 in it. Is this anything special? I am considering doing a quick rebuild (bearings, seals, and gaskets) and dropping it in my L model. I know they made a turbo model of this engine so I am considering dropping a turbo and pump on it that I already have and letting it roll. I know that she doesn't have piston oilers but I think she will be fine in a play truck. If the truck is ever worked GCVW will be 40k. Any easy life.

burnin oil Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Still sitting in a tree line next to a farmers field. Just struck the deal and still need to go to the bank. The truck was originally a Carolina Frieght truck. B73 Concave cab with a short nose and a single axle. ENDL 673, 9spd OD Duplex, and a 4.65 rear axle. Some time ago it was converted to a dump truck. She has been sitting awhile and the front glass is toast. Cab is good but the floors are a little ruff. No telling about under the dash. The glove box is full of water from the busted windshield. Hopefully I can get her on a trailer in the next couple of weeks and rolled to storage. If anyone needs some parts let me know.

I saw it had less HP and torque than a 673P in the same chassis.

burnin oil Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I will try and snap a picture in a few days when I take the guy his money. I thought it was a rare combo myself, just not desireable. Who in their right mind wants less leg room in this day and age? That said if someone is interested in saving an old truck I am buying for the rear axle I can swap out mine for it and have a good rolling truck with a 6.67 rear. Everything points to an original drivetrain. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28292-endl-whats-so-different/#findComment-145663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Interesting. I saw it had less HP and torque than a 673P in the same chassis.There were "L"versions of several different engines,had nothing to do with hp & torque ratings.I have ENDL711's,ENDTL673's,and ENDL673's Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28292-endl-whats-so-different/#findComment-145665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing looked to special under the hood. This is the info I pulled from the wiki under Engine Data. I bet the torque difference is in the RPM.B-67 ENDL 673 Diesel 4 7/8 x 6 672 170 @ 2100 480 @ 1200 END 673P Diesel same same 187 @ 2100 527 @ 1400 ENDL 673P Diesel same same 180 @ 2100 505 @ 1400 END 711 Diesel 5 x 6 707 211 @ 2100 602 @ 1350 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28292-endl-whats-so-different/#findComment-145671 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbyrne Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Pretty sure 'L' engines had aluminium tappet covers and sump pan plus whatever else you guys suggested. The 'L' denoted 'Light' or 'Lightweight', hence the aluminium parts. Pretty sure any hp and torque rating was available whether an 'L' engine or not.BIDSTBC.

burnin oil Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 They seemed to be stamped steel but I will have to take a better look. Honestly I snagged the engine numbers and didn't think much of it otherwise. I was hoping that a maxi had been swapped along the way. Anyone know of a source for the old head gasket? I am really considering pulling it down and checking the internals out. If I can't find a head gasket there isn't much need to go through the aggrevation.

burnin oil Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Got the truck home last Friday and got the junk dump bed pulled and hauled for scrap metal. Next time I get home before dark I will throw some pic in the for sale section for anyone that needs some parts. I salvaged the wet kit and dump frame if anyone is looking.Leversole. The steering wheel is there but in rough shape. It would need a total resto to fill the cracks. It is the smaller diameter wheel.

burnin oil Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks Mike. That is some good info. The power of google had let me down and I was about to ask that very question in a new thread.
