Industrial engine in a truck

My 302 is about to blow and i want to replace it with a remanufactured 300 straight six. I'm completely new to this and the only ones i can find are industrial engines. Is there any differences between the passenger vehicle and industrial version of an engine and if there is, what would the process of sticking it into a truck be like?

I'm assuming you're not in California. I think this is probably a felony or some shit there.

Texas. I dont think these engines are even legal in california.

It should be the same as far as I know, but it probably depends on its original application.
Mabey the bell housing and flywheel coul be weird depending on what it was connected to.

Yeah, for the most part everything looks the same as my dad's 300, even has the same carburetor, but i dont want some weird detail to be overlooked and be left with something really fucky

The block should be the same, the heads might be different. Just check that the flywheel is the same and it bolts up to your tranny. If so gud 2 go.

Industrial version has a better intake and exhaust compared to the older one, but worse exhaust compared to the efi models.

I think they might have a bigger cam as well.

300 a shit, it's reliable, but I'd rather have a 351w if I were you

Yeah, i'm looking for reliability most of all.

Reliability is dependent upon the owner and what your perception of reliability is

Don't listen to kitkat's lies OP.
Provided you don't have delusions owning a race truck or something the 300 is an excellent engine.

It's a decently reliable motor, but if you're going through the effort of getting a new motor, you might as well swap to a motor with more torque, and that has the exact same mounting towers and whatnot

No. Because OP wants to turn a $500 job into a $10,000 job.

351 is a gas guzzling meme
302 is the choice for enlightened individuals

351w is gudder than the 302w, thicker block material and a taller deck.

Kek

302

no way, americans cant be that thick

>no way, americans cant be that thick
oh don't you worry America is always THICC

Tell that to the 60 year old forklifts with original gas engines.

Diesel engines are superior for industrial applications in every way possible.

>They are more rugged and reliable.
>There is no sparking as the fuel auto-ignites. The absence of spark plugs or spark wires lowers maintenance costs.
>Fuel cost per Kilowatt produced is thirty to fifty percent lower than that of gas engines.
>An 1800 rpm water cooled diesel unit operates for 12,000 to 30,000 hours before any major maintenance is necessary. An 1800 rpm water cooled gas unit usually operates for 6000-10,000 hours before it needs servicing.
>A diesel engine is also better for low end power

Diesels are objectively better, but also cost more. Besides, gasoline is cheap in burger and in the 60s when the was developed no one used diesel

>but also cost more. Besides, gasoline is cheap
it doesnt matter, if its industrial application what matters is in the long run, like in a power generator, its supposed to run 24/7

The 300 is just about as reliable as a diesel though

that just depends on what diesel engine you are talking about, but diesels are more reliable and efficient, because physics.

The 300 is a ohv, low stressed i6 with timing gears and low compression. It's about as bulletproof as you can get with an engine.

That being said a 351 is objectively better for truck use. A 300 makes a great stationary power plant though

>as bulletproof as you can get with an engine
Old Diesel Toyota and Mercedes OHV with timing gears also, check em

Industrial 300 sixes have higher flow cast manifold and reportedly a forged crank.

I'd just get a used 300 six out of a junk yard with the EFI headers.

They are tough engines.

I live in California and can confirm. 25 years to life for an illegal engine swap.

It's best to just distribute child porn instead.

>351w is gudder than the 302w
No it is 100 pounds heavier and the factory heads suck anyway.

Tfw no tiny i4 diesel shitbox

>A 300 makes a great stationary power plant though
Confirmed. Our courthouse backup generator is powered by a 300 fueled by natural gas.

>There is no sparking as the fuel auto-ignites. The absence of spark plugs or spark wires lowers maintenance costs.
Yup those Pesky $20 plugs and wires are gonna break the bank when the engine costs half as much and the maintenance costs a 1/4 as much.
Thank goodness we don't have plugs tho rite?

God Bless Obama.

It's 100 pounds heavier because the block is literally stronger.

Max you can safely run on a 302 is around 450 to 500hp. 351 can go well past that.

Besides 100 pounds on a truck ain't no thang

>needing more than 450hp on one of those old ford truccs
thanks for the laff

302 weights less, uses a considerable less gas, and sounds bettter
