Detroit Diesel 6-71 Pic, Factory Turbo and Super Charged

[74M35A2]

Just thought I would throw up a pic of a 6-71 Detroit I have in storage. It is a 1982, and came factory with both a turbocharger and supercharger. Much like a lot of the V-8 Detroit Diesels did also, it was more rare of a 6 cylinder to have the same setup. Has a 7 speed spicer bolted to it. This one even has a factory A/C compressor on it. Runs perfect. She's ready for her next assignment. I'm thinking M35A2 or rat rod wrecker. This one is rated at 300hp. Range from Detroit is 165hp-450hp, and up to 485hp aftermarket (bypass type blower) The Detroit's can be made to run reverse rotation, and even be assembled switched end-to-end. Long live the 2 stroke diesel:

I vote for Rat Rod! Those engines are popular in boats if your sourcing parts.
Looking forward to your next project! Good Luck

I saw a diamond T with one of those engines fitted. Sounded awsome. I would just love to fit one in a deuce.

Gotta love these screaming 2 strokes. Put in anything and run it hard !!!

Looks a little long for an M35, might be a better fit in a 5 ton. Has the intake on the right hand side like an M52/54.

Sweet.
How about a cucv?
Also a question, I searched but to no avail. Do these engines use crank case oil? Or do you mix oil and gas like a 2 stroke gasser?
Thanks

It is a knarly design. It has crankcase oil and the oiling system is same as any 4 stroke engine. But, it has ported cylinders for intake and exhaust valves in the head. The blower is required to push the fresh air in which pushes the exhaust out. Has 3 rocker arms per cylinder, the center on fires the fuel injector. Camshaft rotates at 1:1 ratio.

Sweet.
How about a cucv?...

Maybe in the bed... 6-71T is over 2000 lbs and over 4 ft long.

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Ok.
So put it in the bed of a m1008 with a bed cover and make the first rear engine sports cucv
