Need more power?  Try this V71

If I didn't do the link right, hopefully, somebody will know how to fix it.

I saw this a while back but can't find an update, it says they were going to put that in an over the road truck!

   Great till it needs the racks run. Imagine how much oil that will blow after some hours.

Was the 24V71 ever offered in an automotive application? Sure it's neat seeing that but that may be a bit much. Perhaps a locomotive but a truck let alone a bus?

Actually a bus would be the ideal application for it.  Mid engined, two seater bus, just the driver and one close friend...

Yeah that may fit in a CROWN. The noise would drown out the screaming kids. :)

The Detroit Allison dealer in Cranbrook, BC, supplies and maintains equipment at the coal mines nearby. You can see several 16V71s and 24V71s in their yard at any time. They are there to be overhauled and then put back in the big haul trucks. They are used as power units too for other things.

I would think you would need to replace the bedroom on my 5A, with more engine compartment. not that you could sleep with that in the engine bay, is it a single block with 24 cylinders or two 12 cyl or 4 6v71s, that we have heard about linked together? lvmci...
