hey guys the b815 that I just bought has a v8 but I wanna put a 237 or a 676 in it. the v8 runs great it is a very smooth motor it burns a little bit of oil through the valve seals. but other than that the motor is solid. I would like to maybe trade for a 237 or a mack engine similar to that. but im also willing to sell. im not sure how much a motor like this would go for but if your interested just make me an offer. the motor is still in the truck so if you wanna come by and hear it run, let me know.

That's kind of a rare beast. It would be a shame to swap that out. By the way, you are local to me. I lived in Middletown for a bunch of years.

Okay, just to go against all of the others for selfish reasons...if the price is right I would be interested as my 1965 B-615 came with that engine! One truck loses, another truck gains? Does that make it easier to swallow?!?

Worst case and he doesn't listen,that's the best solution...

If the truck is for hobby just keep it as is and put your hands on other areas.

Then drive it for some time about 1-2 years and come back to the matter.

the thing is I plan on going to work with the truck in Newark doing local city work hauling concrete debri. and if I put that motor to work and something major goes im F*CKED

Then pull the engine and put it in "mothballs" so it can be converted back one day.

You honestly gonna "work" this truck?If so you'll need to put some serious cash into it.If I were you i'd get another truck for work and either save this one for a hobby truck,or sell it to the right person.

I realize I'm weird but when it comes to rare stuff like this you really gotta do whats morally right sometimes. I bought a V8 MH ,gonna knock it in the head,rough as a cob,just wanted the E9 to put in a Superliner. Lo and behold,turns out the MH was an original Magnum,only 64 made.Rare truck,just like the B815. It's still together, and will stay together so hopefully someone will restore it (it's been for sale quite awhile)if not,I will get it done someday.

You wouldn't buy the Mona Lisa just because you wanted to use the frame for another painting,would you?

Can you get any pictures of them? If you could also get the vins on them and send them to me.

Thanks, Josh
