Deutz F8L413F air cooled diesel engine for my project truck (narrated)

You're looking at a 1979 Deutz F8L413F engine, V8 aircooled diesel, naturally aspirated, 770 cubic inches, 750 ft/bs of torque, 230 hp @ 2300 rpm. It comes out of an Atlas Copco air compressor. It has an SAE 1 bellhousing. Still trying to figure what I will do with it, I'm thinking of an early 60's chevy 2-ton pickup. I have an 80's Ford F350 4x4 donor for a solid dana 60 front and 70 rear, and a divorced transfer case.
The 2nd cylinder from the front on the driver side has a knock & smokes a bit. When I loosen the injector line it goes away. I'll have to dig into that before installing it.

[castirondude]

@GTAstuntking I don't know about the oil filters but Interestingly on one of my trucks I had 2 wix fuel filters followed by a FRAM and the FRAM filter got plugged with the gunk that passed through the WIX!

Oh thats sounds beautiful even with the knock.

[castirondude]

@WolfkinCreations thanks! Interestingly the knock went away after running it for awhile. I think it might have been a stuck ring or valve

If you do put it in a truck, you should put in a quick-change rear end. You would be able to gear it up to help with the low revs of the engine. That thing has endless potential. It's going to need to vent big time, so make sure to put louvers in the hood too.

@wolfmanradio I was going to put it in a 4x4 truck but found a V12 that I'm going to use instead, so this one's just sitting on a pallet in the shop for now.

@castirondude think thay use a lot of the smaller Deutz diesels in construction equipment like bobcat's from the usa bomag & volvo from eruope stil not a bad little motor though
