Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted March 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2015 Scania Press Release / March 10, 2015Today, the tenth of March, is International V8 Day – a time for the V8 engine to be celebrated around the world. Follow the festivities in social media using the #V8Day hashtag. On this day in 1932, the first Ford vehicle with a V8 engine motored out of the company’s factory. While it wasn’t the first V8 engine produced, a new casting method meant that Ford could now produce the engine at a lower cost and in higher volumes.It was the key turning point in the V8’s history. Since that time, V8 engines have been found in everything from luxury car, such as Rolls-Royces, and premium trucks, such as Scanias, to vessels, buses and motorcycles. What attracts enthusiasts is the V8’s sheer power and its unmistakable rumble.http://www3.scania.com/en/New-V8-truck-range/The-new-730hp-engine/?YoutubeMovieId=v52etw_qTQo . 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39227-intl-v8-day/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought V-8's were avail in a 2000 series. Worked my way through school working for a contractor and one of the things I drove was a B-180 powered by a 345 V-8. registered for 24,000 and would routinely gross 34,000! "5 and a 2"and that V-8 would fly! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39227-intl-v8-day/#findComment-282231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D.Joe-thx for education-never knew there was a "1900" based on the 2000. Only experience I ever had with that series was we had a "cast off" 2000 that had been surplused in another part of the company. NH-250, RT-910 with that rubber block suspension (Hendrickson?) good thing I was young and did not have brittle bones!

Joe Ditchkus Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Red horse I have a IH VF 190 with a V-8 549 5X3 trans tandem and a IH 2000D with a 6-71 13 speed Hendrickson rubber block. I bobtailed it home from Wapaca,Wisconsin about 10 years ago when I won the auction on it. It was a Waupaca County,Wisconsin lowboy tractor. Alternator died about 20 miles from when I picked it up no heat It was February I had to save batteries for lights. About 950 miles only stopped for fuel,I hope never again like that. Joe D.

Lucky for it and its stablemates the scrapper that the grandkids of the owner hired to clean out the barn had a sense of values and took the trucks home to resell instead of scrapping them. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39227-intl-v8-day/#findComment-282269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick was to drill a small hole in the top to vent the moisture. Where the moisture came from?

j hancock Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Might have been condensation from heat cycling of the engine?I never really minded playing with points but certainly electronic ignition is nice to have with usually better performance and economy. I have been lucky and only had one module ever fail. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

41chevy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Bought quite a few vehicles over the years that "had severe un-diagnosible" problems the were miss adjusted points or had a worn rub block. Go to a shop now and you'll hear how complicated old care are, what with adjusting points, setting timing and adjusting carburetors are.
