Howdy all,
I am looking to to some BTR-80s and 70s and the engine deck seems to be up all the time in pics. Anyone have some images of the engine or suggestions of an engine I could convert? Thanks a ton, Ryan

Btr-80 uses the KamAZ-7403 diesel engine.

Glad it helped. When doing google searches for Russian stuff, it helps to use Russian as well as English.
