Guy Edelist Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Here is B43. what is the origin engine type? here is engine looks like 673 but is don't know if if ti's origin, and what is the exact model of the engine. In Israel it was very common those days e.g. '50- '60 to replace engines with whatever engine was available on the shelf. it might be the origin engine was dropped and kicked out to put this one. also this engine in the pictures was original. this 1955 truck had hydraulic tipper made in Israel and 5/2 duplex gearbox.

Maddog13407 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 im sure its a 673 but im also sure its the detuned version. it had the pump turned down to only give it 150hp instead of 180hp and probably has the smaller 67 series duplex. the hp and weight kept it in the B40 series instead of a B60 series Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37721-b43-engine-type/#findComment-266637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looks like a good project. Are the specs on the green truck the same as the red one?

Maddog13407 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I scrapped a b43 that wa sa snowplow. fenders and doors and frame fallin right off literally and frame was so bad and rear end you couldn't even read any number but it had a 673 and small 67 series 10 speed in it. I saved the motor trans and rear as the engine was rebuilt and im pretty sure someone turned the pump back to 180hp specs. put the engine in another with trans and its a brute.
