@copperheadmarine - thanks for the info... These engines were on their way out by my time :( I'd love to have one in my taxi cab :)

@Mysterio2276 TT means Talored torque or constant HP ...kind of a flat power curve and TA means turbo aftercooled

TA turbo aftercooled

@sokodad - Begins with number of cylinders. V indicates vertically opposed block (not all were, older ones were inlines) the 53, 71, or 92 indicates cubic inch displacement per cylinder. Example - A 653 is an inline 6, with 53 CID per cylinder = 318 CID. These were built in "V" blocks as well. An 8V71 is a V8 with 71 CID per cylinder = 568 CID. "T" or "TT" designation indicates single/twin turbochargers. "A" or "TA" designations, but I'm not sure what it means. All had blowers to force air in.

How would this engine compare to the kta 600

@lugger2010 haha

still shouldnt be an issue, imho its all a con to me, computer systems have made it impossible for something these days to run nasty, is is worth it to have the newer diesel trucks have half the fuel mileage of the older ones?
I love the sound of the old Detroits.LOL remember guys when the environment was a non-issue and we could play with the pumps and play with the motors all day long and no fucking computers ... Sorry I get a little carzy.
