VEGE Remanufactured VF15 5.8L 351ci Car Truck Long Block Engine

Description

Demanding long distance hauling requires the VEGE VF15 Car Truck Long Block Engine. This 5.8L 351ci V8 gas configuration develops 215HP for demanding commercial long block repower operations. Fleet mechanics must check oil pan dipstick tube location before lowering the block into position because passenger car and truck sumps use opposite pan entry points.

High tensile ASTM A48 Class 35 gray iron forms the deep cylinder case on this VEGE engine core. A micro polished nodular iron crankshaft spins inside heavy duty saddles to withstand persistent commercial hauling stress. Cranking draws 185A on standard 12V starter circuits. The unit weighs 510 lbs dry across an engine stance of 29in length by 25in width by 28in height with 6.0 quarts sump volume.

Key Features of VEGE VF15

Municipal shops buy VEGE VF15 Car Truck Long Block Engine inventory to restore transport trucks during an industrial engine rebuild. CNC diamond honing creates uniform cylinder wall crosshatching to ensure instant piston ring seal.

• Generous 351ci displacement generates sustained rotational force across heavy cargo delivery routes.
• Cast iron cylinder heads feature induction hardened exhaust valve seats to eliminate fuel seat recession.
• Austenitic stainless steel valves maintain seating face integrity past 1,450°F combustion peaks.
• Tri-metal copper lead rod bearings support 0.0016in oil clearances under continuous highway loads.
• The VF15 commercial core integrates a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft for quiet, dependable valvetrain operation.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets eliminate combustion gas leaks between adjacent cylinder chambers.
• Double roller timing chain sets prevent camshaft timing drift over hundreds of operating hours.

Dyno Verification Shop Limits

Automated test cells evaluate the VF15 long block engine before shipping. The dynamometer records 215 continuous BHP and 320 ft-lbs torque output at 2,800 RPM. Sump oil temperature reads 192°F with main gallery oil pressure holding 58 PSI. Exhaust gas temperature peaks safely at 1,360°F under simulated hill climbing. Cylinder compression gauges show 175 PSI per cylinder with under 4% variance while crank runout stays within 0.0003in TIR.

Field Service Protocols Clearance

Carburetor or throttle body linkages require 5.5 lbs actuation pull force across full travel. Do not install this standard rotation Windsor engine into reverse rotation marine twin screw applications without swapping the camshaft and front seals.

• Change motor oil and replace spin-on lube filters every 3,000 miles or 120 run hours.
• Inspect hydraulic lifter preload every 35,000 miles to confirm zero valvetrain lash play.
• Retorque cylinder head fasteners to 105 ft-lbs after the initial 50 run hours.
