LRB-thanks, I stand corrected.  I only knew of the engines that had been installed in highway vehicles.

The one that always blew me away was seeing a 12V-71TTA as a generator on a oil rig standing straight up with engine up toward the sky running happily.  About the only thing that Detroit needed to do was create a big hang down oil pan, valve cover drains, and put a water cooled thrust bearing at the bottom to support the weight of the crank and generator.  Never ceases to amaze me how versatile the 2 stroke Detroits were.  I doubt we'll ever see another family of engines like that again.  Good Luck, TomC
