This engine stumps most everyone( except ex military)It is truly unique as engine and 5 speed trans.is a donor from a 2.5 ton personel carrier..,motor is bullit proof_literally_is designed to run on as little as 1 quart of coolant,and start in any weather condition,Being it is a Hercules Ind. military engine it will run on anything petro based…kero,,fuel oil,drain oil veg. oil,and it likes it!!

Trans shifts smooth and 5th gear is overdrive… so cruising at 65 no problem. 12 Gal. fuel tank marked appropriatly WASTE OIL ONLY.Interior is basic rat style…no side/rear glass…digital gps speedo..oil pres., trans temp. water temp,boost..Although this engine is only rated at about 210 hp…she has tons of torque and with the intercooled turbo,,,,the power to weight ratio works very well ! i never really checked mileage am guessing at around 18 mpg +/-…Roof is hinged for a reto rat look…decided to go with the military theme as kinda’ makes sense…..Everthing works,,guages ,,signals front /rear ,horn,,hi-lo headlamps,,,Warning; this is a true rat rod..ITS NOISEY,,IT SMOKES AND IT IS PROBABLY UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN….SO that being said bid with confidence,cause,,,you will not find another one…TRY.”
