VEGE Remanufactured 336C 3.0L 2960cc Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Commercial fleet operators facing severe valvetrain clatter and low oil pressure install the VEGE Remanufactured 336C Car Truck Long Block Engine for reliable driveline renewal. This 3.0L 2960cc V6 car truck long block replacement produces 160HP across a 60° iron block architecture. Compact V6 packaging requires checking steering column clearance during drop-in shop floor placement.

Heavy ASTM gray iron casting gives the VEGE 336C long block assembly structural rigidity under sustained commercial hauling cycles. The 4-Bolt main bearing caps secure a micro-polished nodular iron crankshaft. Designed for 12V automotive electrical circuits, cold starter current draws 180A. Net dry weight lands at 390 lbs within a base envelope of 27in length by 26in width and 27in height. Sump oil capacity holds 5 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE Remanufactured 336C

Fleet maintenance supervisors buy VEGE Remanufactured 336C engines to execute a dependable commercial long block repower on route delivery vans and light municipal trucks. This VEGE remanufactured long block provides direct replacement fitment for 3.0L commercial rear-wheel drive chassis.

• Four-bolt main bearing caps lock crank journals in place under high torque loads.
• Hypereutectic pistons feature coated skirts for minimal cylinder wall friction at high temperatures.
• Hardened stellite exhaust valve seats resist seat recession during sustained uphill highway grades.
• Overhead camshaft valvetrain optimizes intake air flow while eliminating valvetrain break-in wear.
• Heavy duty timing belt system maintains camshaft phase stability under sudden acceleration surges.
• High pressure oil pump pushes 52 PSI through internal cylinder block oil galleries.
• Precision machined transmission mounting pattern mates this 336C commercial core to factory gearboxes.

Dyno Bench Load Performance

Dynamometer load cells confirm this 336C long block engine generates 160HP at 4,800 RPM and 188 ft-lbs torque output at 3,200 RPM under continuous water brake resistance. Oil pressure stabilizes at 50 PSI with oil pan temperatures held at 190°F during step load testing. Coolant loop passages maintain 180°F under full water brake resistance. Cylinder compression gauges show 165 PSI across all 6 cylinders with variance under 3%. Crankshaft thrust float measures 0.005in tolerance on dial indicators.

Bay Clearances Service Limits

Throttle cable connections require 5 lbs pull force for smooth accelerator pedal action. Do not install this 3.0L V6 car truck long block engine into front-wheel drive passenger cars lacking matching subframe mounts or chassis lacking 27in transverse clearance. Fleet mechanics must check engine cradle mount bushings before torquing bellhousing hardware against this 336C engine core.

• Change 10W-30 commercial motor oil and filter every 250 operating hours or 3,500 miles.
• Inspect cooling system hoses and timing belt tensioner every 500 operating hours.
• Torque intake plenum fasteners to 18 ft-lbs after the initial 50 operating hours.
