After going to a few tractor pulls here in Illinois It came to my attention as a former engine builder and diesel pickup fan that the MM tractors are creating some incredible torque.
I talked to a local puller last night who runs a highly-modified gasser and the thought came to my head to install one of the MM diesels in a 97 Ford crew cab, for a driver and trailer puller, but I'm concerned about weight.
Talking about a MM diesel that's in the 300-400 cubic inch range can anyone tell me what model number I'm looking for and how much a complete engine weighs - including the bellhousing, manifolds, starter, water pump and alternator?
I'm much more interested in cubic inches than the number of cylinders it has, as most diesel pickups are using about 350-370 cubic inch engines.
I looked all over the net and can't find anything about this M engine "weight" question!
Thanks for any help
