cropsey, il 61731 | Looking around a little at options for the 9170 motor. My motor definitely has metal in the oil, so crank work would be involved - takes the price over a complete/decent engine (that I will roll new bearings in no matter what this time). Our gubamint is auctioning off some engines from big army trucks M916, etc and they are an NTC version. I didn't think there was a lot of difference between the NTC and 855BC and both are still mechanical motors (afaik). It would be handy to be able to swap manifolds and fuel pumps from my engine to the NTC - intake/exhaust routing, automotive vs. ag pump, etc. What are the chances of being able to swap these parts?
thanks,
Pat
PS: I'm assuming that an N14 is an electronic motor, but is it pretty much self contained (sensors, ecu, etc) and just needs power, fuel, start signal and throttle linkage (it's not fly by wire is it?)?
