Wanted: 6V53T DD


1958 F.W.D.

Recommended Posts

Yardo,I happen to have a completely re-built 238,low hours,low miles,which uses no oil whatsoever,which as long as it's going in the FWD, you may have for cost of shipping. Please feel free to contact me with any Detroit related questions,comments or fan-mail..................................your friend "Doctor Detroit"................Mark

The Wauky is a 3200 rpm engine. Actually the plan is.....if she ever tanks (knocking on wood) and I switch to an oilburner, we already have a specific 3208 picked out- a factory reman 2800 rpm version with an almost identical horsepower and torque curve. We'd lose about 10mph.....She does 60 now.

And yes, I am aware that the 3208 is a boat anchor (heh kinda like any 2-stroke DD....) but I'm not delivering freight with it, or putting 100K on it a year.....The most mileage I have ever done in one year was about 400 and that was a busy year!!!

Nothing wrong with a 3208 in my book.

I would keep the gasser.

It ran 60 easily, I saw it in action.

Could go faster but Randy didn't want to show out the secret knob :banana:
