You sure that is not a variation of the 6.247? The valve cover on your unknown is the same as one found on a 6.247 test fitted to an IHC Scout back in 1974. The intake manifold was different but that engine also was used in the Ford F100 in Australia in the late 1970's to early 1980's. The Mazda version was called the T4100.
Perkins Identification please
In a sea of Detroit diesels here these days I need help identifying this Perkins ??
Recently buying a truck with a ZB Mazda diesel (basically a Perkins 6247) and was given a second engine as a spare which is not the same but similar.
The ZB Mazda / Perkins 6247 has 6 glow plugs along the head as its an indirect injection diesel where as the spare engine has its pre heater in the inlet manifold. Both have a water log manifold along the right hand side above the exhaust manifold.
Here's a couple of pictures for reference. Would like to know what this second engine is !
