Cummins marine 8.3 12 valve - Competition Diesel.Com

horsinaround9 · 09-17-2013, 07:32 PM

Hey everyone , I was looking for some specs on the marine 8.3. Turbo and injector sizes, pump specs etc. I have a 8.3 that I am going to be putting into a pulling tractor and was thinking on basically putting it similar to marine trim for the first year. I don't have a ESN so I can't find anything on quick serve and Cummins can't tell me anything without one. Any info is appreciated.

What tractor?

horsinaround9 · 09-18-2013, 03:03 PM

I have a white 2-70. I ordered a bellhousing from you yesterday matter of fact lol.

9724VF350 · 09-18-2013, 03:10 PM

I had a feeling that was the case.

It's shipping today, we had to pull one out of a tractor.

No problem. Thank you again. Let me know on that input shaft when you get a chance. Gonna see if I can get that 8.3 to run with a mild 466. Pump,turbo injectors etc for the first year. Hopefully it will make some power.

you will have fun with the 466 tractors, stock A pump ,stock injectors, hydra power delete ,HX55 turbo with 19 housing .
Run a double clutch you will be able to make some 6 gear passes in 8,500 lb.
It will choke out ,but the momentum will put you way ahead of everyone else

I'd say 8500 will be plenty. He's putting it in a 2-70.

Will a 2-70 rear end hold the torque of an 8.3?

If it will, that will be a crazy puller. Especially for a farm stock tractor. Or will this be for open class?

horsinaround9 · 09-19-2013, 03:06 PM

We will find out if it will hold lol Im sure someone has done it before but I haven't ran across anyone yet. It will be a open class. I would like to try and get it into 6000 and also pull 7 and 8200 a couple times a year. I will be competing against 560's and triple 6's with 466's and a few small deeres n/a on alky.

Dane I have watched your videos many times. Your tractor runs very well. Thanks for the info. I have a 96 truck motor. I bought it as a long block so I have no pump,turbo,manifold etc It was originally a p pump motor. Were they had the marine motors over 400hp stock, I don't think it will be too hard (or crazy expensive) to make 5-600hp with one. How do the head gaskets hold on these motors and how has the reliability been ? I will be ditching the 3 speed and will start with at least a 2 disc clutch. I am going to build a light front axle and pray I can make 6000 with 18.4-38s on steel, cage and the cast tub. I started making a aluminum trans-rearend cover and will probably just cut and drill as much as I can on the stock dash pedestal for now. Pedestal and front rails will be next years project. Unless I can't make weight.
