Thanks much for any input. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | We have a 36 1 1/2 ton fuel truck with a 207. Needless to say it is slow but seems like a good engine. We are restoring a 36 pass car. I havn't driven it but the engine sounds good. I rebuilt it many years ago.

I have a set of reconditioned rods for a 207 that I bought by mistake. They were advertised as "235" Babbited rods. It probably wouldn't be a good one to acquire on speculation, because there will be a limited demand for that engine. 216, 235, and 261 engines are a lot more popular simply because there are more vehicles still running which had those engines originally.

Maybe I can trade some labor for it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 69 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 69 | I has been a good motor. I have 2, 36 cars with them. Parts are available (clutch a little hard to find). Both run very well and will outlast me probably and make it a nice original. Just were not in production very long. | | |
