I have a lead on a Hayes HD in good shape, but the engine is done in. It's a 350 or 400 small cam Cummins. I was wondering if the mounts were the same for a big cam 3 or 4. If it'll drop right in, I'd sooner put in a big cam than rebuild the old small cam. I'd try a 600 hp N14, but they already have them stinkin' computers in em'. :evil: [Reply]   [No Email]

She ran like a scolded dog loaded, but you had to be careful in the hills. she'd burn a piston at the drop of a hat, if the EGTs got too high. Those were the days.

I don`t much care for computers either, but the N14 is in a different league than the NTC series. Much better driveabiity, though over 500hp they don`t live long. [Reply]  [No Email]

Also it can be a pain. If you need to build an engine ,build a CPL # 266 ,it's an early BC 350 ,runs well and will make jersey smoke test,also will whip most 400 cats while getting good milage. I built 2 of them for the neighbors and both are happy ,I use one of them when I need to move dozers or concrete blocks. george [Reply]  [No Email]
