Never even heard of 7.9, sounds like someone has something wrong, get a VIN and call the stealership and see what they come of it.

I have a '91 F800 with the 7.8L inline 6, never heard of a V-6 engine for one.

 

[petepilot]

I never heard of a 7.9 either .if it does have a v6 all I can think of is that someone transplanted a turboed 653 in it . I should have some pics. in a day or two we`ll see then` its about a 100 miles from me

 

[Ronsii]

A day or two waiting for pics that's like an eternity!!!!

6V-53 was only 318 cubes, what is that in liters? 5.0?
6V-71 was 426 cubes.

you`re right methinks the guy trying to sell it to me doesn't know what he`s got

Methinks you are correct. Depending on the Hp rating and your intended use, make sure its got a lot of gears. Mines a 210HP with a 6610 transmission at about 22-23K lbs. and you get to know every one of those gears.

318 cu = 5.2 litres little dump truck with an automatic

Only Detroit they would of stuck in there is the 8.2L fuel pincher which wouldn't surmise to the V6 since it was a 500 cubic inch engine.

Yep. 8.2L, had a few of them in service trucks. A customer tried one in a tandem F800 pulling a smallish equipment trailer... No Bueno, it now has a Cat 3208T that has been doing the job for several years.

 

[Delmer]

Lots of people don't know what a V6 is. My bet is you show up and it turns over fine but won't crank.

I don't think Ford used the 8.2 detroit V8 that late, maybe?

 

[Steve Frazier]

Construction company I worked for had an F800 with the little Detroit in it, the thing was gutless and it sounded just like the 3208 Cat. I actually thought that’s what was in it until I peeked under the hood.

I’m betting the truck you’re looking at has the Ford I6 in it too. From what I’ve heard they were no powerhouse but were pretty reliable.

Have any of y'all EVER heard of that before?!!

 

[John C.]

I seem to recall Cummins had a V6 for awhile. I remember seeing them in log skidders. I recall something about 378 on the tag. It sure wasn't 7.9 liters though.

Saw one in a Michigan loader, it looked like a V903 short two cylinders.

 

[crane operator]

Most likely its a 5.9 cummins or a 7.8 brazilian. If its diesel. There are a few 8.3 cummins, and a occaasional 3208 in the late 80's. If its a v style engine, I bet its a big gasser, and the last two cylinders are hid under the firewall.

Actually that would be the 504 Cummins minus 2 cylinders. Saw one in a mid 60's Ford F800? it wasn't running. Ford did use them for a while back then.
