Seem to recall reading somewhere that a Scania engine of some sort would slot into a Barrios Dodge 300 series without too much aggro…!

I did hear the same sort of story years ago, about being able to put a Chrysler/Dodge engine into a 1617 Merc

First link is unfortunately unavailable. The little film about the history of Diesel engine is most interesting; thanks! I thought that all hot-ball diesels were two strokes.

That was when I had the air bed which lost pressure when cold ,later on I got a webasto and took the twin seat out and made a bed with mattress ,every sprinter trip is a good one as you can eat sleep n drive where ever you want :sunglasses:

01Couple of Spanish Dodges. Had a bit of a rep as flying machines back in the day. Were they really “all that”?
NMPs

Gawd yes, i had a 14 litre ■■■■■■■ E320 at the time which pulled like hell and overgeared to suit, only the big cabbed Spanish Dodges and the then new 142 Scanias on the same work (similar weights and work) would give it a run for its money.
There were some green cabbed Spanish Dodge artic tippers running out of St Neots area (company name eludes me worsening memory :blush: ) that often used to run about the same time early morn up the M6 heading to Spillers Milling at Birkenhead, wacky races some mornings…so i’m told.
