The 427 is a good engine. But I think diesel is a far better choice here.
Gas engines have to many problems with starting/stoping,add in hot summers days,well?
3208 is also a good engine but there throw aways. meaning no sleaves. you must re-bore and rebuild.
Good engine for approx.250,000 miles if taken care of.
No comparison between a 3406 and 3408.
3406 being a much stronger inline six capable of well over 500.000 miles.
Cat parts a real pricey,and this engine like so many are no longer made.
Shame you can't find one with a cummins.
I would buy the Cat bus then re power with a later style engine when needed.
