ECFDEngine23 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've been looking around for information on the Mack CF, and one question I've had on my mind is this: was the Mack CF ever available with any powerplants other than Mack powerplants from the factory?

General Ike Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 The vast majority were equipped with Mack 6 pot motors. Lots of 237's with 5 speeds early on, then eventually up to 350's eventually. The CF700 had maxidyne V-8's but not many were made comparatively and that combination was unloved in the fire service. I have seen some CF's repowered with non Mack motors but to my knowledge none left the factory that way. Conversely, the over the road F model which the CF is developed from could be had with Mack 6 and 8 cylinder power as well as Cat's, Cummins and Detroit power. 1 Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63237-mack-cf-powerplant-options-question/#findComment-455427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllBill Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There is a Mack CF I saw posted in a Facebook group. It is believed to be the only Mack CF with a Detroit diesel according to the original poster.
