@TheBlazen001 I'm sure anything from Scania or Mercedes-Benz wouldn't last half as long in a runaway scenario. Both produce very good engines, but these old Detroits were nearly indestructible.

I hear tell the Navy used 8V71 in some of the swift boats, they ran them without governors. When they went they weren't worth rebuilding they'd pull 'em out, drop the old motor in the river and a new on in the hull

nothing to worry about that detroit was no good to begin with my 6-71 went run away for 10 min befor it could be stoped and no damage was done by the way no governor cat stop a detroit it will just run on its own sump oil

@kenfo0 I was thinking of the exact same thing. If I where there I would get the heck away from that motor and behind some barrier.
retards for destroying a nice engine!

Tough old motors! They dont make em like that anymore... Tho it only ran for 50 secs before it blew up these old things would last a lifetime.. I have a 64 chevy with a 3-53 in it that had 350,000 miles when i bought it, it now has 864,000.... Thats gotta tell u something...
