2WS vs 6NZ??

Pretty much the only difference is the gaskets and seals. Also they machined the gallery out of the block where the cam used to go on the mechanical models. Oil pan gaskets is different, timing cover gasket and I believe the rear housing that the bellhousing bolts to has different seal.

All in all they will both run the same. I personally have a 2WS in my race truck and couldn't be happier with it.

 

If you pass on that motor please send me the info. I would love to be able to buy one of those old reliable engines.

 

what he said. a good ol 2ws is hard to beat.

 

great engine,real major difference is the 6NZ has strait teeth gear train and 2WS is helical gear.

 

For what it's worth, my local Pete dealer is getting $30,000 for 6NZ's and 2WS's that have been rebuilt with Platinum kits to put in the gliders they're building. No core. Could be a steal, could be highway robbery. I dunno. All I do know is that they're getting what they're asking.

 

I replaced my engine this summer. The wrecking yards were asking between $5500 to $7000 for a running 2WS with no papers or history. I got an MBN that was rebuilt at CAT 2 years ago with papers,some warranty and all history from new from CAT for $9,000
