Hello all,
New member here....I have an '86 Pete 362 that I've started restoring...It has a Cummins N14 engine, but I'm unsure if it's a Big Cam III or IV, 350 or 400?.....No tags can be found on the engine, and I don't know if it's the original.....The block # is 11476296...Any help on this is appreciated, thanks..

that is an NTC-315, 855 big cam engine, not an N-14!
if indeed that is the serial #Cetane+ Thanks this. -
OK, was advised that one can request Cummins engine identification on-line, with either knowing the VIN or engine serial #...Follow this link to the request, it works rather well, along with obtaining additional engine info....

Yeah the N14 wasn't even a twinkle in Cummins eye in 86
Cetane+ Thanks this. -
If the number you gave is indeed the ESN it would be a NTC-315, 855 big cam built in 1988 so it would probably be a replacement engine that was put in the truck somewhere along the lines.Bean Jr. Thanks this.

My point was simply, there was no N14's in 86. Sure you can put one in anything, just like you can take the 315 his serial number comes back to and build it to a different cpl spec. of course then only you know what you have everybody after you is scewed ordering parts off the CPL number or serial number

Thanks for the help guys, it's much appreciated....The Cummins engine id link works real well....As previously mentioned, the engine is an '88 NTC-315, out of a Volvo, so it's a replacement....Great to know when needing parts....I tried running the Pete's VIN, but nothing came back, possibly indicating that the original engine was a Cat, Det, etc.....I'll call the Pete dealer and see if they'll de-cipher the VIN for me....
It really needs nothing major, a lot of small stuff....I drove it home back in July, ran well, of course it was bobtailing, so who knows yet....The shifter linkage is really played out, can't grab reverse at this point....I'm having a hard time getting parts (go figure), and every time I call, the dealer has to "pull up the micro-fiche"....As I have a M.F. reader, does anyone know how to obtain a set of parts M.F?....A service manual for it would also be a big help....E-bay has them, at about $250-300, ouch....Any ideas to share would be great, thanks...
Winter's here though, and no garage, so it'll have to wait a bit.....This site is really good and a big thanks to all who help out, God bless.....
