TJ'S Truck Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hi I have a 56 BCR mack with a triplex trans and I'm not sure what engine I have as the numbers are ground off the rounded part in front of injection pump my motor has a turbo and two spin on oil filters and starter on left side, some think it might be a 237 as I know it came with a 673 and duplex trans as per Mack info I got , is there any other tell tail ways to ID this engine Thanks Ted....

Lmackattack Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 lots of B models were upgraded to 237 or 285. if it has 2 spin on filters thats a good clue but could also have been converted. do you have a pic of the engine? any part numbers on the turbo or injection pump that you could use to cross reference?

TJ'S Truck Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Sorry I meant to say the plate under the H numbers says MADE EXPRESSLY FOR MACK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60792-673-or-237-id/#findComment-441781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

63BMack Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I was thinking maybe look at the timing on the injection pump tag I think a 285-300 is 22 degrees, 237 I was thinking it was 16 degrees. Someone on here might be able to tell you. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60792-673-or-237-id/#findComment-481334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
