Do you mean 3208 ?? don't recall a 3408 maybe 3406?? If it's in a Pete, it's a 3408, not a 3208. Click here for a photo of the injection pump, the next two pics show wider shots of the same engine. The 3408 was used in trucks in the late '70s & early '80s. I knew several guys that had them and they were strong runners. Probably still used in stationary & industrial applications. |

A 3406 is an inline 6 where as the 3408 is a V8.
Ken Smith did an artical on detailing the 3408, some where online they are posted but I can't remember where. I did my 3408 in the Kenworth W900 wrecker in 1/25 scale using that article and it looks really good. There are pictures of it near the begining of the posts in the show room.

OK it's "official" this thing has driven me NUTS, just spent 5 hours drilling holes in the dash for gauges, valves and switches, the switches will be for the lights (they do work) now the guys with the white-hug yourself sport coat are coming to get me
