possibile - Iveco V8 engine family is named 8280.xx - starting at 360hp up to 900hp (unofficially). The 8280 engines should be mentioned together with the Isotta Fraschini diesel engines. pure italian - grande. My second top Diesel engines ever. First Detroit Diesel 12V92TTA, Isotta Fraschini, Iveco 8280, MAN D2840 forget the other - I heard from some V8 called Scania, some Volvo too, but not road worthy
That thing is a RELIC and an APE just by size(18L). Where was it installed before ending in such poor conditions ? Boat ? Truck ? Tractor ? Any interesting stories behind it ?
It must have been in a Eurostar V8 it was the biggest engine in a truck at the time it came out 520 . magnum was next with the 500 Scania and Volvo both with 470.
I normally hate vehicles with loud engines and the people that drive them (they disturb my peace), but this, THIS is so obnoxious I want one to drive to the beach tomorrow.
