What kind of engine does the HEMMT use? Sounds like a 2 stroke diesel. I ask because I was looking at Detroit Diesels to put in the M1009 for when the engine goes. Thanks.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yup and at about 4000 lbs. you'd better have some really heavy front suspension.I believe its a 8V92 or something close to that.
You guessed it! Nah, I have been changing this and that to make the m1009 look and sound like something to turn heads. 8v92 does sound big. I was looking at a youtube video of a 12v71 earlier. He had straight pipes and it sounded magnificent across all gears.Yup and at about 4000 lbs. you'd better have some really heavy front suspension.
Are you thinking of putting one in a CUCV, don't forget the camera for driving because you won't be able to see over it from the drivers seat.![]()
If you want a great sounding engine you want to go with a Cummins 903. They were used in the old 10 ton 6X6 military trucks. I hear they sound excellent with straight pipes.I have been changing this and that to make the m1009 look and sound like something to turn heads. 8v92 does sound big.

It's an aluminum block 3-53 2 stroke Detroit Diesel.what is the engine in the gamma goat?
Admittedly, I don't know what the numbers mean. If I had to guess I'd say the first number is the cylinder count and the second is the engine size either by factory model or other size differentiation I'm not familiar with.If you want a great sounding engine you want to go with a Cummins 903.

It makes a lot of noise but not much power. I might change it over to a DD 6V92T.

BTW, do you know what the numbers mean when talking about the old 2 stroke DD's?

Yeah, I thought it would be fun project down the road if I get the moneys put together.The 8v92 is a 12.1L V8. Its a mammoth engine with an equally large cooling need. You might need to do some cutting.![]()
Yeah, I'll have to see if I can't find some the people have done it for the 6v71 and under. I might could find someone with an idea in mind of how to get it done for a 8v71 or even the 91 size. Never know what you'll find on the internet. From what I understand, there's a good chance that I won't get it done without just buying a rig. lol. High hopes though right?i saw a detroit 353 in a 65 chevy on the internet.... that was about as big as you could go....
you realize that even with a signifigant body lift and suspension upgrade you still will lack about two feet being able to close the hood. i wish you the best but i just dont see how it would be possible.
The problem you're going to have is the width of the bottom part of the engine. You will have to do a lot of work in order to get that engine to fit between the frame rails on a Chevy pickup. As I mentioned I have a 8V71 in a Dodge and it's a large engine. The 8V92 is even larger.Sorry, I guess I only wrote about the 12v92 on the chevy truck forum I check now and again. But, I'm sure the 8v92 is still too big for the M1009 and would require changing a lot around. I'm game if I can figure it out.
This I gotta see!!!What kind of engine does the HEMMT use? Sounds like a 2 stroke diesel. I ask because I was looking at Detroit Diesels to put in the M1009 for when the engine goes. Thanks.
THAT'S IT!!!!! The engine for my Rat Rod deuce project. YEEEEE HAAAAAAHow about this DD for your truck? 16v149 with 4 turbos! 2384 cubic inches! Basically 2 V8' bolted together.
