VEGE Remanufactured VFCP 5.4L 330ci Heavy Duty Long Block Engine

Description

Plastic timing chain tensioner gasket blowout bleeding oil pressure from overhead camshafts grounds municipal transport vans. The VEGE VFCP Heavy Duty Long Block Engine eliminates timing guide destruction during commercial long block repower maintenance. This 5.4L 330ci 8-Cylinder build generates 260HP. Installers must prime oil galleys before initial startup to prevent dry camshaft journal scuffing.

Cast from ASTM A48 Class 35 iron, this deep skirt crankcase incorporates cross-bolted main bearing caps. The VEGE engine core utilizes A356-T6 aluminum cylinder heads, a balanced nodular iron crankshaft, and forged connecting rods. Starter current demands 175A on 12V. Dry weight reads 525 lbs, oil pan holds 6.0 quarts, with block dimensions measuring 28in length, 27in width, 28in height.

Key Features of VEGE VFCP

Fleet mechanics buy VEGE VFCP industrial engine rebuild crates for severe commercial hauler service. Heavy duty iron timing tensioners prevent chain whip across demanding highway grade climbs.

• Cylinder bore sized to 3.552in restores combustion seal integrity under heavy payloads.
• Piston stroke set at 4.165in delivers sustained low-speed torque for towing trailers.
• Cast iron timing chain tensioners eliminate oil pressure bleed down at idle stops.
• Stellite coated exhaust valves prevent face erosion under high continuous thermal exhaust loads.
• Deep-thread spark plug inserts stop spark plug thread ejection under maximum cylinder pressure.
• The VFCP commercial core matches factory commercial chassis motor mount brackets.
• Multi layer steel head gaskets resist differential expansion between iron and aluminum surfaces.

Hot Dynamometer Proofing Data

Automated water-brake test cells validate each VFCP long block engine under continuous load simulation. The dyno run confirms 260 BHP and 350 ft-lbs torque output at 3200 RPM continuous load. Crankcase oil pressure holds 55 PSI at 195°F oil sump temperature. Pyrometer probes record 1150°F EGT across manifold branches. Cylinder compression hits 180 PSI across all eight cylinders without variance. Crankshaft center journal runout stays below 0.0003in TIR limit under dynamic full load rotation.

Field Installation Boundary Standards

Mechanical throttle body linkage demands 5 lbs spring return pull force for positive idle stop contact. Never install this heavy duty two-valve truck engine into passenger cars or high-RPM supercharged racing conversions.

• Drain break-in petroleum motor oil and change oil filter element after 500 roadway miles.
• Verify hydraulic lash adjusters show zero clearance during upper valvetrain inspection.
• Torque cylinder head bolts in stages to 30 ft-lbs plus two passes of 90 degrees.

Standard Crate Manifest Scope

Supported by the commercial VEGE assembly standard 3-Year 100,000-mile nationwide warranty, this package arrives in protective crating. Shipment encompasses the remanufactured long block, steel oil pan, aluminum timing cover, composite valve covers, oil pickup tube, and signed dyno certificate.
