The 16V149 has two 24 volt starters a four 8d batteries each to start them up.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Good LORD!!! I can't afford the batteries let alone the fuel.The 16V149 has two 24 volt starters a four 8d batteries each to start them up.
Chill dude.Are you on DOPE? The 16v149 is a boat engine--literally. It's too big to put in the BED of a Deuce, let alone power it.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people think a larger CID engine will turn heads without thinking about the reason WHY they're turning heads.
I'm down. ROFLMAO!How about this DD for your truck? 16v149 with 4 turbos! 2384 cubic inches! Basically 2 V8' bolted together. They are prime movers for 2 standby 4160 volt gen sets for the City of Tampa' 13th St. sewer pump station. You should hear this things at load, it's awesome.
It was really awesome when the electricians started one up with the leads from it not connected in the cabinet! It made lots of fireworks for several long seconds!
The first pic is with the genset removed for rebuild. These are 30 year old engines.
Sorry for the crappy pics, taken with cell phone.
I would re-think the 8V71 idea as it ain't going to happen without a ton of custom work and a rather large transmission, along with a whole lot of money. The Dodge I have that has an 8V71 is a special Dodge that is a lot larger then usual and the cab had to be raised up in order to fit the 8V71 along with a larger radiator. In a smaller vehicle like a Blazer or pickup it ain't going to fit. A DD 8V71 is still huge and weighs over 3,000 pounds. You would need at least a 7,000 pound front axle (my Dodge has a 12,000 pound axle with air brakes). I would stick with the 6BT. That or follow the suggestion of putting the body of the M1009 on a deuce chassis. The frame of the M1009 will never stand up to the weight of an 8V71.Yeah, I imagine that I'll be getting a new transmission anyhow because the cummins 6bt and the dd 8v71 are looking like good ideas.
Yeah, body swap is looking better all the time for the big DD. To keep the m1009, I'd probably need a smaller one. One I was looking at on youtube was a 4-53T, I think.I would re-think the 8V71 idea as it ain't going to happen without a ton of custom work and a rather large transmission, along with a whole lot of money.

The CNT900 and the M1009 are nowhere close to similar. Not in frame, not in BRAKES, not in suspension.
No, it was not missed. I even replied to it. Guess YOU missed that too.So here's my complaint, since it got missed:
Yeah, I totally thought you were talking about a 2500 when you said dodge. ROFL.
No problem there. What's the point in having a forum for asking questions if asking questions does nothing but get you rude responses? The only way to learn is by asking questions. Nothing wrong with what you asked.The point of me starting it was to find out all these things. Not having been militarized, CDL certified, or diesel engine certified, I'm pretty clueless.
No reason to apologize as you did nothing wrong. Some people have a thorn in their side. Why some people feel the need to be so abrasive in their responses in beyond me. Just enjoy your M1009 and have fun with it.DRDSTNY, I'm sorry if I offended you. I'm really not sure how to fix that. I promise I was just looking for constructive advice. Try to keep the rest to yourself or show me the door politely? Thanks.
Btw, I don't think I grasped the concept of a Dana axle. Is that lke a box or something special? Is it just positive? Is it just a different gear ratio? Thanks.
3200 rpm governor springs are like 100 bux.... The issue is gearing. The 4BT turns fewer RPM's than a 6.2L. ....
honda? lol.your gunna change you're own engine but dont know what a dana is?
classic
what year is you're honda?
guess lots peoeple got that thorn in there side
ROFL. Thanks Stalwart. Had I done this on my own without help, I'm sure you would have seen the pic on the internet. ROFL. With any luck though, that won't happen and I'll be rollin around with a mean green killin machineDarnit, I wanted to see an 8V92 CRUSH a Blazer, bent axles the whole ball of wax.![]()
