VEGE Remanufactured DCTF 6.0L 364ci Industrial Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Continuous heavy payload hauling mandates the VEGE DCTF Long Block Engine, built to conquer demanding commercial long block repower cycles in work vans and chassis cabs. This 6.0L 364 cid Vortec V8 creates 320HP at 5,200 RPM and 360 ft-lbs torque. Technicians must check intake manifold cathedral port alignment to prevent unmetered vacuum leaks.

Solid ASTM A48 Class 35 cast iron shapes the deep skirt 90° engine block. A cast nodular iron crankshaft pairs with forged powder metal connecting rods inside this VEGE engine core. Starter draw measures 180A on standard 12V fleet circuits. Dry weight totals 510 lbs within an envelope of 28in length by 26in width by 28in height. Sump holds 6.0 quarts.

Key Features of VEGE DCTF

Commercial contractors buy VEGE DCTF Long Block Engine assemblies to shorten shop backlogs during an industrial engine rebuild schedule. High precision hone finishes establish an optimal crosshatch pattern for immediate ring seating.

• Cathedral port aluminum cylinder heads maximize mixture velocity for sustained heavy grade pulling power.
• A heavy duty hydraulic roller camshaft resists lobe wear across hundreds of thousands of fleet miles.
• Hypereutectic pistons resist thermal growth to eliminate bore scuffing under full payload towing.
• The DCTF commercial core holds 0.0018in connecting rod bearing clearance for oil film durability.
• Cross bolted 6-bolt main bearing caps lock the rotating assembly against crankcase flex under heavy loads.
• High output gerotor oil pumps supply constant lubrication volume to the valvetrain under heavy towing.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets clamp compression tight across the entire deck surface.

Bench Dyno Parameters Thermal Thresholds

Dynamometer testing confirms 320HP at 5,200 RPM plus 360 ft-lbs torque at 4,000 RPM for this DCTF long block engine. Gauge monitors record 55 PSI oil gallery pressure at 2,000 RPM at 195°F operating temperature. Cylinder compression gauges verify 185 PSI across all eight cylinders within 3% balance. Crankshaft center journal runout shows 0.0002in TIR. Exhaust gas temperature gauges indicate 1,260°F during extended dyno pulls.

Installation Protocols Maintenance Schedule Directives

Electronic throttle body harness plugs require secure clip engagement to prevent sensor signal dropouts. Mechanics must avoid this commercial replacement engine for light vehicle chassis lacking structural crossmembers for 510 lbs engine blocks or vehicles with low capacity cooling cores.

• Drain break in oil after 500 miles or 30 operating hours then refill with 5W-30 synthetic motor oil.
• Inspect oil pickup tube o-ring seating to prevent aerated oil delivery to the oil pump.
• Check cylinder head fasteners in three passes reaching 75 ft-lbs final specification.

Crate Manifest Warranty Protection Details

Every long block carries the VEGE build standard with 3-Year or 100,000-mile parts coverage. The freight crate encloses the long block core, oil pan, front timing cover, valve covers, oil pump pickup, plus official plant signed inspection documents.
