I have a good 354 Perkins turbo diesel and a 5 speed trans with pto,it is in a 1977 Ford F-350,light wreck,needs right spring and bumper.
Would make a good wrecker.
Has everything you need to put turbo power and 20 mpg in a F 250 or F 350, has 4 core radiator,heavy duty clutch, engine heater,also have ac bracket.

if you could get it up close to 200, it would have a new stock 6.9 beat. it has like a 5" stroke. should make for damn good torque numbers.

They have a new 4cyl perkins electronic motor at stewart and stevens in fairbanks looks like it would only weigh maybe 5 to 600 # they said you could set it up to 300 hp.

My searches came back with 160 HP on a 354 turbo engine.

One guy in Florida has two with 0 hours on them since rebuilt, he is asking 12,500 for them.

Did see one advertised at 240 HP.

Most are in boats, you can get more power out of a marine engine than you can a truck engine.

The only problem with it beeing in a driver is whipping into a local napa etc. and needing a waterpump.
