hhmm now what would need to be done to make that turbo one street legal and safe? lol or any of them for that matter. I think getting rid of the 300 was one of the worst mistakes ford could have made. And Jeep just make the same one.

The turbo boost is only 2 psi. This turbo engine was designed to be run continuously at 1,800 rpm for stationary uses such as pumping water. I do not think it would be unsafe in a vehicle - un-responsive maybe . . .
The head seemed to be a new casting, but I did not see that the block was.
Still, I think these links are more evidence that the 300 is a legend. Time for me (us) to start collecting cores before these guys have them all.

its a nice thought, but both of these engines seem to be for industrial applications. i'm sure they'd work in a truck, but it wouldn't be ideal. also, it looks like both are designed to run off of propane or NG or something. if they were really designed for automotive use, they would have a waranty on mileage, not on hours. i think its a testament that these engines are still being used for heavy hauling and continous use in the industrial field. (think of how many trailers full of luggage the airport carts haul around.) it would be a nice head and block to start with, but its not a truck engine as we use them...

They also seem to be rebuilt engines not new blocks or heads--------->"The Oxx PowerTM 4.9 liter engine is designed to replace the discontinued Ford 300/4.9L six-cylinder, ----------->using a remanufactured long block "<-----------

I just have to ask. Beings that this motor is made in Canada how would that work with US emissions? It might be able to by pass them as "industrial." But I need verification of that. Next question. Does it share the same bell housing pattern as the Ford built 300-6 engines?

seeing as how they are rebuilt blocks, it would make sense to me that they would share the same bellhousing pattern, and i would imagine emissions would depend on what you cam factory equipped with. i would surmise a call would determine if they use the same bellhousing pattern, but i wouldn't tell them you are planning on using it in a truck, as it might void their waranty, or it may be that they couldn't export it for use in a truck since it wouldn't pass emissions. i had family that used to rebuilt deutz engines, and it was important not only where it went, but what the intended application was, because thats what determined warranty and the such.
