Jim B Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Does anyone know what engine comes in the Ertl International Transtar II COE? It looks like a V8 of some sort, but I can't tell what kind. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ok, thanks. I haven't gotten mine yet, and I was curious. So, that sounds like an 8V71. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 My1:1 had the 318 Detroit! Great flatland engine but was a pain in the mountains, or small hills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks. I was just hoping that it wasn't the V800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scummy Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Argh , the mighty 8-71 . I had one in the 70's in a 4070 doin overnight work , loved it and the jake rattling the shop windows early hours of the morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbrad Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Learned to drive in a 74 Astro with a 318 and a 13 underdrive. I swear My right hand was never off the shifter. Roll into a truck stop and tell them to fill the oil and check the fuel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
