Because apparently other peoples' opinions are worth $15,000 to some people.

u haul trucks have 7.3's in um. but not the big international ones.

greasemonkey · 08-06-2007, 08:19 AM

Ya know the International Scout diesel had a Nissan 40 diesel engine in em. I heard they had tons of torque, but sucked if you had to drive above 25mph.

peterbilt · 08-06-2007, 09:07 AM

i thought they had 460's in um, like the old broncos.

mrjohnwayne · 08-06-2007, 02:29 PM

international had completely different motors. I can't remember but want to say they had like a 304 or a 345 or something.

greasemonkey · 08-11-2007, 10:22 AM

Nah, Broncos came with the choice of a 300 straight six, 302, 351. Not a 460. Those only came in the heavy duty trucks.

Jim, You could get a 460 in the broncos. I'm not sure what years offered them but I know they are out there.
