THERE IS A HIGH ONE, elbo, AND A LOW ONE. THE LOW ONE IS THE SLOBBER DRAIN, THE HIGH ONE CONNECTS TO THE AIR CANISTER UNDER THE STARBOARD SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND PROVIDES AIR PRESSURE TO THE SEALED BRAKE SYSTEM. JUST REMEMBER TO DRAIN THAT CANISTER REGULARLY OR YOU'LL PUMP OIL INTO THE BREAKS

It's a Detroit 353 not 453.

Detroit 3-53, not 453

It never was an option!

They were designed in this configuration, with an aluminum block , 3 cylinder Detroit Diesel featuring 53 cubic inches per cylinder. The 3-53 Detroit was a two stroke engine that could produce 101 horsepower and 217 lb-ft of torque.The original pilot design had an aircooled corvair engine.

I drove one with a 454 V8 but that doesn't mean it's supposed to be there. The Military definitely didn't do it. Maybe one guy did it. And, Sounds like you got a bunch of yourself, GOT ME??

BS>>> The Iron block is not the same size. It was never replaced with an iron block 353!!!

I think I'll put tubes in mine.

Just a disconnect/shutoff.

Thank You!!

Are you sure that's not 89208WW That sure looks like a 9 instead of an 8.

Tom, What number did you order for the carrier bearing? What company??

Polish and grease the hell out of the shaft before you slide that bearing back on!!!

That's a sealed bearing...

Two questions Tom, What ply and how much?
