V-8 diesels in general are inferior to inline ones...5 main bearings versus 7, pump located in hot valley between heads. I ran a 3208 T in a medium duty Chevy with an Allison. It lasted about 100 K... There are a lot of 3208's in the bone yards. The V-8 Cummins 903 ( 9 oh nothin) isn't much better. The only good one that I can think of is the 8V-71 Detroit which didn' make enough horsepower to self destruct. The 8V-92 Detroit did. The 3208 will be fine with proper care and a " little luck ". After all it is a CAT.
