VEGE Remanufactured 326B 3.0L 2960cc Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Bolt the VEGE Remanufactured 326B Premium Long Block Engine into chassis bays requiring refined six-cylinder industrial endurance. This 3.0L 2960cc V6 premium grade long block replacement produces 165HP across a balanced cast iron foundation. Heavy casting mass demands balanced crane rigging during placement, while checking distributor drive alignment ensures long-term ignition timing stability.

Pearlitic ASTM gray iron casting gives the VEGE 326B long block assembly maximum structural damping and fatigue resistance under continuous urban haul cycles. The 4-Bolt cross-bolted main caps secure a precision balanced nodular iron crankshaft. Engineered for 12V electrical systems, starter current draws 185A. Net dry weight lands at 395 lbs within a mounting stance of 27in length by 26in width and 27in height. Oil pan capacity holds 5.5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 326B

Commercial transport operators buy VEGE Remanufactured 326B engines to execute a premium commercial long block repower on service vans requiring high uptime and low vibration. This VEGE remanufactured long block sets exceptional durability standards for demanding commercial fleet operators.

• Precision balanced crankshaft reduces rotational vibration through the entire 5,400 RPM range.
• Diamond-turned hypereutectic pistons feature moly-coated skirts for reduced cold start bore scuffing.
• Induction-hardened stellite valve seats withstand continuous high-temperature commercial highway hauling.
• Overhead camshaft profiles maximize low-end torque output between 1,800 RPM and 3,400 RPM.
• Reinforced timing belt train eliminates timing deflection under severe torque shock loads.
• High capacity oil pump supplies 55 PSI continuous pressure to main bearings and lifters.
• Precision machined bellhousing flange allows this 326B premium core to bolt to commercial gearboxes.

Brake Dynamometer Load Diagnostics

Brake dynamometer trials establish this 326B long block engine generates 165HP at 4,800 RPM and 190 ft-lbs torque output at 3,200 RPM on standard commercial fuels. Oil pressure holds 52 PSI at operating temperature while coolant flow keeps operating temperatures at 182°F. Pyrometer gauges confirm exhaust manifold heat within 1,180°F during full load step tests. Compression measurements verify 165 PSI across all 6 cylinders within 2% deviation. Crankshaft journal runout checks below 0.0003in TIR on dial indicators.

Engine Bay Operator Limits

Throttle lever pull force requires 6 lbs to overcome dual throttle return springs. Do not install this premium grade V6 long block engine in front-wheel drive platforms, boats, or vehicles lacking 27in bay clearance. Fleet maintenance teams must check transmission bellhousing dowel alignment to prevent input shaft pilot bushing binding on this 326B engine core.

• Renew 10W-30 synthetic blend oil and filter every 250 operating hours or 4,000 miles.
• Inspect valve train rocker geometry and camshaft belt tracking every 800 run hours.
• Verify intake manifold torque at 22 ft-lbs every 400 operating hours.

Verified Crate Manifest Warranty

VEGE protects this premium long block with a 3-Year or 100,000-mile commercial powertrain warranty. The wooden freight crate contains the remanufactured 326B long block core, premium valve covers, oil pan, front timing cover, oil pickup tube, basic gasket set, and certified build inspection sheet.
