Last Friday we threw a photo out for the rabid BangShift readership to identify. We may as well have thrown some rare steaks into the lion pen at the zoo. You all knocked the snot out of that one and nailed the fact that it was a Cummins six cylinder diesel engine block we were quizzing you about. The Cummins B-Series engines are some of the most vaunted and well known light and medium duty truck diesels on the planet. They really need no introduction or explanation. From lugging boats, equipment trailers, and race cars, to pulling sleds and tearing down the drag strip, the B-Series engines can literally do it all. 4 cylinder engines are now being coveted by rat rod builders as torque rich, reliable, and fuel sipping power plants for those unique creations.
This photo, from BangShift reader Marc is of another inliner. You know what to do out there in reader-land. ID this engine block, tell us the displacement and what it can be found in!
Sure it’s Monday…knock the cobwebs out and get it done!
It looks like a Chevrolet Vortec 4200 (4.2 liter). Probably out of a light duty pickup.
I don’t know what it was, but it’s a 5 cylinder now. The number three liner is gone.
A Pontiac 6 from the 60’s?
Datsun/ Nissan overhead cam.
Robert M is on the money with this one.
