How long do you think before you get it in the truck? There were two different air compressors. A new and a old style. Good luck on the install!

ken
I'll have it in and runing 6-8 weeks if it stays warm

Glad to hear the engine arrived in one piece and in a timely manner!

Is the new style air compressor a two-cylinder by any chance? I've noticed some have single and some dual cylinder and always wondered why the difference. The dual seems to be more common in the commercial applications...

 

[red devils dude]

I think the two-cylinder is the old one and the single-cyl is the new one.

Is this the new style?

 

[cranetruck]

Probably, I just checked one off an LDS engine in my garage and it has two pistons.

If that's a gap at the rear of the head it might be that one. Definately later model job...truck got that on it second military rebuild.

This one has a notch in the head...I think- crap...I can't remember. I can tell ya my CAT's is a twin-

RDD, once you get it going and if the compressor is bad, let me know, I've got some new in the box (see picture).

RDD,

You have the old style single piston compressor like I do. The new compressors are longer and have two pistons in them. They look different than this type.

you mean new style, only the newer LDT-465's have the single piston
air compressor's like my new engine is a 1989 has a single piston air compressor but my old engine is a 1972 and has the two piston compressor.
