When I worked for a GM Diesel dealer, we serviced some odd stuff. We had 12V149 boat engines, 6-110 engines that were flat on their sides for rail coaches (had centrifugal blowers) and all aluminum 6V53 engines from Army APCs that were usually always melted because someone had bypassed the governor. A friend has one in a pull truck that he's turned to 6800 RPM. It's a thing of beauty to the ears

got any videos of that?
One of the best automotive exhaust sounds I've ever heard came from an old, 1950-something aircraft fueling truck. Detroit 4 banger.
If you could make a vw diesel sound like that (without transplanting a 'Green Leaker') you'd scare off all the competition before having a chance to race 'em! It was a deadly, put-up-your-dukes-and-fight racket. The dictionary definition of sheep in wolf's clothing! :lol:

Here's a classic 2-stroke video. I think the truck has twin 8V92T engines.

my polish mechanic said that they had these russian trucks that were meant to run on gas, but would run on diesel fuel... you first start it up on gas and then switch over to diesel... pretty neat! great to see that they got that motor working... what an accomplishment (must have been hell cleaning it out!!!)

Why are they showing a Soviet built T-34 then?

..because that happens to be the tank they pulled out of a lake. Who said it isn't a Soviet built T34?
