Detroit Diesel Silver 3-53T (2nd)

[copperheadmarine]

I think a silver was also JWAC....Jacket water after cooled.

@copperheadmarine Not this one,

Perhaps some marine engines, but even then an aftercooled 3-53 would be very uncommon.

I'd love to get my hands on a 3-53T!

Awesome engine!! Love Detroit Diesels!! Great little trailer and love that its being towed by a VW Jetta TDI!!

Whats the difference between a Silver series and a regular?

[Grigg3]

A bunch of little improvements for better fuel efficiency, more power, and less noise.

What are your plans with this one?

[Grigg3]

I expect it'll fit nicely in a 52 Chevy 1 ton pickup, my first truck.

Turned out to be a really nice engine best I can tell, so want to put it in something special that I'll keep and and use.
