VEGE Remanufactured VCT11 6.0L 364ci Heavy Duty Long Block Engine

Description

Master mechanics deploy the trusted VEGE VCT11 Heavy Duty Long Block Engine during critical commercial long block repower operations. This 6.0L 364ci 8-Cylinder iron block powerplant generates 320HP for commercial utility haulers. Mechanics must inspect transmission flexplate bolt patterns and pilot converter hubs because heavy duty transmissions utilize distinct torque converter snout dimensions across application groups.

Massive ASTM Class 35 pearlitic iron forms the deep skirt block casting with six-bolt cross-bolted main caps. Each VEGE engine core receives an induction hardened nodular iron crankshaft and shot-peened powdered metal connecting rods. High temperature stainless steel valves seat into powdered metal inserts. The 12V starter pulls 180A during cold crank tests. Net dry weight equals 470 lbs within dimensions of 28in length, 25in width, 26in height, with 6.0 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of VEGE VCT11

Plant directors buy VEGE VCT11 Heavy Duty Long Block Engine configurations to complete an industrial engine rebuild with zero mechanical guesswork. Robotic deck surfacing creates a Ra 30 surface finish to guarantee multi layer head gasket adhesion under heavy payload stress.

• A high displacement 6.0L 364ci engine architecture delivers broad torque curves for severe commercial hauling.
• Cross-bolted six-bolt main bearing caps anchor the bottom end to stop journal deflection under load.
• Polymer coated piston skirts reduce friction and eliminate cold start scuffing inside close tolerances.
• The VCT11 commercial core valvetrain features hydraulic roller lifters to maximize mechanical longevity.
• Tri-metal rod bearings absorb transient shock loads to protect connecting rod journals during downshifts.
• A heavy duty timing chain stops camshaft timing drift throughout the entire engine service life.
• Multi layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain fire ring seal against deck pressures exceeding 190 PSI.

Dynamometer Verification Operational Thresholds

Dyno testing confirms this VCT11 long block engine develops 320HP and 360 ft-lbs of crankshaft torque at 4,400 RPM. Load testing sustains 2,500 RPM continuous duty while internal oil gallery pressure stays between 48 PSI and 65 PSI. Sump fluid stabilizes at 195°F with exhaust gas temperatures reaching 1,240°F at full throttle. Cylinder compression gauges show 185 PSI across all eight cylinders with variance under 4%. Main crankshaft journal runout measures 0.0002in TIR to verify true rotational alignment.

Field Installation Maintenance Protocols

Throttle control linkage demands 5 lbs pull force to guarantee positive return to idle stop position. Do not drop this commercial replacement engine into chassis lacking auxiliary transmission fluid coolers or electric cooling fans. Maintenance teams must carry out essential shop maintenance procedures.

• Drain break-in lubricants and replace the spin-on oil filter at 500 miles or 30 run hours.
• Verify factory torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts follow the ninety-degree final angle turn sequence.
• Inspect cooling fan clutch operation to maintain operating engine coolant temperatures below 205°F.

Crate Manifest Coverage Terms

Every engine conforms to the strict VEGE assembly standard protected by a 3-Year 100,000-mile parts warranty. Inside the timber shipping crate sits the remanufactured long block core, aluminum oil pan, timing gear cover, valve covers, oil pump pickup screen, and the dynamometer verification sign-off sheet.
