HeyCharger Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Guys. I must have missed something along the way.Why is an engine with a capacity of 672 ci called a 673? No flaming please - just curious.Thanks. Rod.

ThaddeusW Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just a shot in the dark but the first Mack diesel was designed by Lanova and was called the END672. So maybe they bumped the number to reflect the new Scania design which was very similar to the 672 if not the same block with different heads.

theakerstwo Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 may be the same deal on a 711 it is a 707 ci engine. The 864 was called later 865, 866 I have seen a Lanovia and i think the block was the same design as the 673 also.

HK Trucking Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 There was also an END707 available for a while.Instead of the 211 H.P. of the 711, it was rated at 200 H.P.

Yes i remember them as well as a707 gas burner which look like the same block except the machining for the injection punp and may not had liners but never was in one.
