Truck Shop Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Oh yeah Superliners were available with the dozen there was one years ago that roamed the West Coast with twin turbos, engine was built by a boat yard in Long Beach Ca.

Paul 53 series jakes shouldn't be too hard to find from truck recycling out fits, He's going to need one Master (with solenoid) and 3 slave units. Finding the rocker cover extension will be the hardest part. I'm looking for a set myself, a friend is dropping a 4-53 into a '96 F-450 as a fun project using a Clark 5 speed and a small under/direct/overdrive auxiliary trans. And yes I have some experience with 6-110s. haven't seen one in more than a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53728-another-new-guy/page/2/#findComment-402162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) All the old timers really liked the 6-110’s; especially in cranes & tugs; they had more torque than the 8V-71 that supposedly replaced them. want never forget; I worked on a tug that had a 6-110 on the port & 8V71’s on center & starboard & they wanted them 8V’s to do like that 110.

Ha They should have moved the 6-110 to the center, if the 8V-71's weren't turbocharged, they had no chance to keep up. Not sure what the marine rating was on a 110 but it was 350HP on dirt. They were pretty good engines except for the weak heads and gobs of LOUD noise they produced. I'm betting with a good cylinder head and turbocharging they could have been 430-450 HP engines. Worked on a few industrial twin units running drilling equipment, they usually only needed one engine to run the works the other was a spare. Nothing like replacing the head on one while the other is bellowing away 3' next to it.

So will the 110 be in a truck or a piece of heavy equipment? I used to know the whereabouts of 4 to 6 of those dinosaurs but the scrap price went up and they disappeared. Five years back I saw 2 really old Euclid S-18's with 110's that had the Centrifugal blower on the rear of the engine, I think they got the torch too. Back in '03 I looked at a Euclid 4 wheel scraper tractor to pull a large BeGe type box scraper, A good 6-110, 4 speed Allison and good tires all for $2500 USD. The steering gear and knuckles were so bad I just walked away.

In a truck for heavier type work, like most old trucks out here it will be rough and tough and no show pony by any stretch of the imagination, but will rarely if ever work much at all Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53728-another-new-guy/page/2/#findComment-402566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's not to like. Maybe a big ugly Euclid with two 6-110's side by side. 😃 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53728-another-new-guy/page/2/#findComment-402610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
