Ran all of them from the late 60's including some of the earlier small powered Detroits and Cat engines. Especially loved my 1693 beefed up. Had a sound no other engine had. Was fun running at night in the mountains in Montana and Idaho. O other like it. Just had to have good brakes for down hill. Didn't have the brake saver. My last one was a C15 in my show truck. 379 extended hood Pete. Retired 2023 in July and sold it. My trucking is now of the past at age 74.
@@donerickson7869 yeah! Big al!! The first motor that guaranteed that you could do the speed limit in all lower 48 states! I've read a few stories of those things running some serious power.
How about the 903 Cummins, dependable but weak, drove one for years. Or the 425 Mack V8, very powerful engine, hauled coal for years with one. Out pull anything I came up against.
What about the cummins 927? That was super rare. 2 years only, I think 69 and 70, or 70 and 71? They used the bigger twin disc pump to try to emissions certify a naturally aspirated motor but knew that the 855 couldn't hit 300 hp NA so they increased the stroke a quarter of an inch and used the same pump as the turbo motor. Extremely rare.
I just knew that I wasn't the only one who thought the same. There's a lot topics that are miss pronounce and usually because the person who made the video's and don't have a clue or maybe just a little bit about it. I'm not saying that this one is the same just that it happens. Depending on how long the video is I find myself going crazy and keep yelling out to my phone it's this way and not the way you say it. Anyway I hope that makes sense. Finally I just came across your channel and I will definitely be subbing up. I'm a 30 plus years as a heavy truck guy and I obviously have interest in this type of topic. So ya I'm here now and looking forward to going back and watch some of your older videos. Ty for putting this type of thing up for the world to see 👍 🇨🇦 🔧 you have to start somewhere don't you think? K I will wrap it up now and I will definitely see you in the comment section again soon 👍 🇨🇦 🔧
Db 550 international v8 was a major polution motor. Ive seen 2 of them. They h 1had a distintive sound. Saposidly some ran on 4cyls at lower rpm and 8 cyls when reving up
Company I used to work for had 2 , dv 550 engines in trucks . They were averaging 10,000 miles per rebuild. Management thought that our shop was not doing a good job at overhauling, so looked into getting rebuild shops to do them Best warranty they found was a shop that guaranteed that they would back out the door Saw quite a few in ag tractors , and they did seem to run a lot longer. I think that it was because of constant RPM and being governed for lower RPM Biggest problem was that it was a converted 549 gas engine, and worked about as well as most conversations
The Cummins NH250 came out in the early 1960's as naturally aspired to replace the NH220. The same basic block went to 270 HP when a turbo was added and was a common truck fleet engine out west where the elevation was over 4,000 feet. This same block was upped to 335 HP before going to the NTC-350 with turbo and aftercooling in 1972. You didn't mention the V(8)-265 used by PIE in 1964-68, which was also naturally aspired. It was upped to the V-903, then V-903T when turbocharged. There is a whole list of 'RARE' Cummins engines alone, why didn't you do some research in Diesel Engine Progress magazine (available as bound copies in any Mechanical Engineering University Library)?
WHY did you show a Detroit 8V71 when you were talking about a 12V71 ??? Cant you count the exhaust ports ???? The name of the Cat V8 was thirtyfour ough eight !!! not three thousand four hundred and eight !!! 3408 !!!! Since when did the Hercules 6 cylinder diesel have spark plugs ????? Cat sixteen ninety three TA 1693TA !!!!!!! the rarest was the Boeing turbines installed in Kenworth trucks in the 60's and run back and forth over the Washington Cascade mountains, but never went into production, plenty of power but no fuel mileage!!!!

At least you noted the 1693 but you left out the allischalmers big purple
@@donerickson7869 yeah! Big al!! The first motor that guaranteed that you could do the speed limit in all lower 48 states! I've read a few stories of those things running some serious power.
Allis Chalmers “Purple People Eater”, twin turbos and gobs of power but no parts availibility.
My vote for rarest is Hall Scott gasoline V12
Only one installed and the driveline failed !!!
I've seen one of those engines! They're massive! It powered a big vintage speedboat!
@wilburfinnigan2142 they're giants! 38 liters-2320 cubic inches ! 550hp to

They werent very good . Blew up alot. Nobody would restore a 927
@tedhewitson823 100% agree. But I'm just saying ti was actually rare.
It's not 3,408 it's call 34 08

Cummins NT855 Big Cam III deserves mentioning. Powered all those Kenworth’s over the years. And, other class VIII trucks.
Commer knocker 3 cylinder opposed piston 2 stroke of British origin.
NOBODY cares about British crap !!!
Kta cummi s could b as high as 750 hp. 1150 ci. 6 individual cyl heads. Ive only seen 1 of these in a 70s truck

Not much research done all this new "AI" crap with the goofy language !!!
@@sharirogers6826 as well as the pancake cummins 743 and 855 motors that were used in many cabovers for years.
I don’t understand why you call them the silliest Engins. Nothing silly about them at all. They were the Engins of the era.
You. Left. Out. Hall. Scott. 504. And. 220. Cummings
12v71 torque,,,,,??? It made more noise
@crushed-s8s ..... If "Ignorance is Bliss"..... then you must be in 7th heaven.
