Title: Saw this 825HP Engine on CL
Post by: neverlearn on July 11, 2010, 07:04:43 PM
I have no connection with this seller, and don't have any interest in buying it.  I thought if it were viable for a Bus application someone here would know, and perhaps would have interest:

825 HP and only 30K on a fresh rebuild, wow, I guess

More like 525hp-which was the highest horsepower the N14 put out for trucks.  Good Luck, TomC

Well darn the bad luck on the HP, but I'll bet the 30K is close, all engines that are listed have fresh rebuilds that cost 3 times what they are asking.

That's the highest OEM rating, but 825 is not impossible considering there're 5.9 ISBs out there making more than that (I know, life is way too short for hauling).

But I do agree it's a little skeptical; seller provided no details on mods.
