Would the 3280 Cat be an Intercooled Turbo? Also, which is preferred, 3208 Cat or the Cummins 8.3?

RustyCat 3208 250HP is turbo; 300HP is turbo intercooled. I personally would prefer the C8.3 as Spartan is easier to deal with than Gillig, and the usual C8.3 is wet sleeve and on rollout rails - easier for major maintenance.

KevinHi Mark H, I searched "cat ta" (caterpillar 3208 with turbo after cooler) and got lots of results you will be interested in. Here is
one page you can find your horse power information. Keep in mind the Caterpillar is 10.4 liters. There is no replacement for displacement.
