may go C-18 from C-16

Someone on TDR was gonna put 18 internals in a 16 ... who was that and did they do it? I can't remember.

 

Is the Accert bottom end the same as a C15?

 

Similar, but the ACERT bottom end is the heaviest built, and uses a different rod than say a 6NZ or even a 7CZ. The crank will fit in any of the 3406 blocks though, so theoretically you could build a 18L B model if you wanted, but I think $22K for just the rotating assembly is a bit much.

 

Oh come on $22k is chump change to us truck drivers....LOL.

 

You can put more HP to the ground with a C15 or C16 then you can ever use on the highway, let alone in the woods. So why waste the money on a C18, unless your just looking for bar room bragging rights .
TT

 

Define 'more HP to the ground than you can ever use on the highway'.

 

"Too much HP is just enough."

 

No brick walls... Get the C18 if you have the cash... Lipe clutch!
