L10 Motor Specs
The original diesel powered motor found its way into a multitude of vehicles. From buses to motor homes, the 8.3-liter early Cummins engine was in demand. The block is manufactured from a cast iron base. It is naturally water cooled unlike some other types. By the time the final L-series was produced, it had a 10L displacement.
The straight six is labeled as a 543 cubic inch displacement edition. Depending on when the block was built, it may have different horsepower. The factory specs are 250 hp to 400 hp. Most of the automotive applications in the 1980s featured the lower spectrum of horsepower.
Cummins did revamp the L10 diesel in the early 1990s. By making it compatible with natural gas, the ISL G motor was developed. It is still common to find both the M11 and alternative fuel models on the Internet for sale.
Last Year of L10 Production
The final year of mass production was 1998. Different technology has allowed further development of other styles of diesel motors. School buses, firetrucks and larger motor vehicles can have the old L-series or the modified versions. GotDieselEngines.com is able to provide a consumer with one or more options to swap.
