b61mack Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I bought 2 of them yesterday, one still has the safety seals still on the fuel pump. I thought all of them were turned up at one point in there life. I was just wandering cause they look like a big piece of iron with all the accessory on them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36806-865-weight/#findComment-257113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 What are the plans for them? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36806-865-weight/#findComment-257120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I don't know yet, I was kicking the idea around maybe putting one in one of my RS700Ls. the 72 runs good and has the Page & Page Dial-A-Ride suspension with Mack rears but I was going to use the 73 that has a spun rod and put a 97 cutoff with 3.65 rears with a RTO 13 speed Roadranger behind the 865, don't plan on hauling anything with it, cabs need replaced on both of them. too many projects, not enough money. I have been thinking about buying them since last year and bit the bullet yesterday, they are complete including clutch,starter,power steering pump, alternator.

b61mack Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I may have gave too much ( $ 800 each ) the guy at the truck salvage said they ran good. they both came out of F Models, ones a 77 and the other is a late 73. (at least I have enough parts to keep one of them running, I have 4 now) I wish one or both were 866s. which is the better engine of the two the 865 or 866. I never known how to post pictures, I got a new camera I might try sometime.

Bigdogtrucker Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Price sounds reasonable if they're good engines.Nice to have them if your into V8's! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36806-865-weight/#findComment-257279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I never ran one on the road but liked the sound of them ( not an E9 but hey its a V8 Mack ) and to tinker around with. and I hated to see them go to scrap when he got tired of keeping them around, about a year ago he got rid of a 864 don't know how much he got out of it. have you been driving yours??
