CATERPILLAR 3408 TRUCK ENGINE QUESTION.........

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PRODUCTION DATES FOR THE CATERPILLAR 3408 V8 ENGINE????

I WAS GOING TO REBUILT AN OLD CATEREPILLAR 3208 V8 NON TURBO ENGINE FOR MY OLD FORD F7000. BUT I FOUND THERE IS A  BIGGER AND MORE POWERFULL-NOT TO MENTION TURBO DIESEL-V8 CATERPILLAR ENGINE, THE 3408 V8.

IF ANY ONE KNOWS WERE TO GET INFORMATION AND SPECS OF CATERPILLAR 3408 ENGINES I WILL APRECCIATE IT.

THANKS.  

Better be sure you have the room, a 3408 is huge for a HD truck let alone an F7000.  I think they're around 19 litres in displacement, and weigh about as much as a pickup. A more durable engine than a 3208, that's for sure! Welch Diesel repair in Iowa can tell you in depth what they can do, good & bad points, and any other spec you could want. They're an axle shredding monster if you're looking for a big upgrade. Have you tried a websearch? A few other forums have discussed the 3408s. There's some on youtube too.

A 3408 are decent engines, but when it comes to overhauling, it costs almost as much as a newer diesel pickup, that's just to rebuild it! They big, and very heavy. They make decent power, but to be honest a C16 would leave it in the dust.  

I found some specs on the 3408 at the Caterpillar website.  We regrind the Caterpillar 3400 series camshafts frequently for the irrigation industry.

   he asked about a 3208 not a 3408 bug difference
i remenber seeing them in the early 80s turbo charged 70s natural and i've
seen them in 3-5ton trucks it should fit in a hd pick up with the right mods  

3408 wont fit
3208 be just right
