landman Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I've been doing a little research on engines for my Dodge CNT 900. Initially I was leaning towards curbside because of the thickness of the cab and the complexity of the hood. But IF I put an engine inthere, it looks like they had either a NH 250 or a 8V-71. What is the difference between a NH250 and an NHC250?. Are any of them repopped in resin?
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 From what I understand, the "H" designates a 4 valve head, and the "C" designates custom. As for the physical differences, I'm not sure. I believe that the AMT Freightliner kit has the NHC 250. You could probably pick that whole kit up as cheap as you can buy a resin engine. Some of the short hood trucks tilted the Cummins, leaning the engine toward the passenger side, but I'm not sure about the Dodge. Most of the Dodges that I've seen had Detroits. You may also find some help on Hank's Truck Forum, there are a lot of knowledgeable guys over there. Hope this helps. Brian
landman Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks Brian. I think I'll try and find a Detroit 8V-71.
lapazleo Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Most any Cummins or Detroit of the time were available so you have tons of options.
