Possible engine for Cab 13 C15a

The 270 for a CMP would make one heck of a machine. As Bob says they are a little longer but the rad can be moved ahead easily like in the C60X. After driving Stefan's armoured truck in those parades I was really impressed with the way a 270 moves along. The C15TA is quite a heavy beast and the 270 performs real well. There is lots of power for the hills (in Holland) Unfortunately there is not such a ready supply of the 270 in Canada. Dirk took Brian and I to one of the dealers in Holland and they had containers of take out engines. Brian actually got one for his armoured truck. Like Bob I don't want to hack up a good truck but modifications aren't forever. Can you imagine being able to drive to a CMP event in Canada without worrying about killing your engine? I know lots of MLUers will crap all over us for even having such subversive ideas and would be calling us "Hot Rodders" but a look back in history will show proof that the Canadians were known as the hot rodders of WW2. Look at the Jeep modifications used by the Canadians. Even look at the Aussie and Kiwi mods to vehicles.
