Engine Noise difference

[brad barton]

I agree. Our 84 FC had the Cat 250hp 3208T. Even with the electric radiator
fan turning, it was not much worse than a normal pickup (back then).

Jon,Noise is hard to discribe and it is subjective,With out using a DB noise
meter.So , My unscientific opinion:It has been a long time since I drove or rode
in a 210, But my opinion is , the 300 Hp is quieter, I feel the turbo helps
cancel noises.and mostly the air intake filter in located outside in the
passenger side bay under the front bumper.Intakes on most motors transmit motor
noise.The insulation on the late model FC's 87,88,89 , is a thick blanket, It
looks like heat shield blankets.The Doghouse carpet and padding is thick and
plush.No trouble having a normal conversation with Patty the co-pilot.The only
person I know is Bob Janes , 87 FC Greenville , N.C.He ownes both a 210NA and
the 300 hp turbo.Hope this helps,Bill 88 FC Michigan--- In
