    Not sure yet. Not really going for big power or performance. Stock its 375 and that's the highest factory rating on that S/N break. I found the previous owner on this forum last fall and found he apparently turned up the pump pretty good, which explains the cracked pistons I guess. The truck has lost a diff since the pic I posted so I think it'll move pretty decent if I set it up for about 400ish.


    Kind of interesting but I believe that engine was original to the truck. I haven't confirmed with KW but a little digging has confirmed Canadian Kenworth Burnaby was the original purchaser of that engine.

    Balancing an engine isn't always just for performance. It does wonders for reliability also. You're going to run it as a single axle? If so, let me recommend putting a locker on that axle.

    Scoot over. I'm in the same boat. With my luck, the boat has only one seat so I have to jump in the water and you don't have a rope to pull me and I forget how to swim.
