'84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
Hi i'm from algeria i found recently a 84 American GM Crew cab truck with a 4 cyl Diesel Perkins , so i'm just asking if these engines are good for this kind of trucks ? i mean they're made originally with at least 6Cyl or V8's but people here use those engines on them because the V8's are rare and their spare parts too

Re: '84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
which Perkins do you have?, a lot of diff. versions
most 4 cylc perkins were about 40-60 horse if your lucky, should'nt get any speeding tickets with that in a 3 ton crew. a bit of an odd ball to drop in a square, but then i got pictures somewhere of a guy who dropped a Leyland 6 diesel in a '69 f-100 |

I'm not sure about the engine exactly , but i think they're used in some SAVIEM trucks (French made) that are not available in the USA

Maybe a Perkins 105/4? I had one in a french made Massey Ferguson tractor.

Re: '84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
I don't see a problem since it's already in there. It looks like any old tractor engine to me. Perkins Diesels are very reliable in Massey Ferguson tractors.

Re: '84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
Looks 4x4 because of the front lock outs? Pic of front suspension and all will tell the tale. If i had to guess i'd also say yes because of ride height.

Re: '84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
Looks like the one I had in the Ferguson. They used them in a lot of marine applications. Mine was a ***** to bleed the fuel system. There was about 6 steps and it didn't ever go the 1st time. Took about an hour or so. Great motor when running though. Try marinas and boat yards for parts.
Good luck. |

Re: '84 Crew cab with Perkins 4 cyl diesel ?
if the price is right, i would jump on it. truck looks to be a K30 crew. lock-outs on the front, look inside & see if there's a transfer case lever coming threw the floor, front susp will be leaf spring. i'd guess it's a custom deluxe by the lowball exterior. if the perkins runs fine, i too would leave it. sure would be a head turner over here every time you popped the hood.
will prob. be slow, 1 ton k30 crew's will most likely be geared with 4:10's or 4:56's. with any luck it might still have the d60 front axle. body looks to be rust-free, always a bonus. |
