Well,

I guess that rules out the Ford 6.6, 6.6 phase II,7.8 and the 200 found in MOST Ford and New Holland tractors and backhoes built in the 60's,70's and 80's. All of these are DDEs(Damn Durable Engines)!! As a matter of fact, the 6.6/7.8 family of engines were ag engines adapted for truck use. The 200s were always ag engines. I know one thing for sure: you can't bore a 4B/4BT/6B/6BT Cummins .180 over to install sleeves when the cylinder bores are worn out
because the engine is on its 4th OVERHAUL.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
