Coolest-sounding diesel on the planet!

Coolest-sounding diesel on the planet!
From 4btswaps.com: It's a 12V53 (53 cubic inches per cylinder) 2-stroke Detroit, a V12 at that. They had 4 cylinder heads same as a 3-53 head, and used two 6V53 based blocks directly bolted together, 2 superchargers, plus twin turbos! I think one long crank shaft and a pair of long camshafts, but not sure on that.
Only 15 of these engines were ever built! My old 46 Chevy needs one of these!

It is a Detroit. And if you think they sound so cool just spend a day driving one and you just might change your mind. Especially with twin short stacks like I did. More than one day. Good way to end up about half deaf.

One of our 2007 KW's is down until at least 12/6 with Cummins national backordered parts, so we had to put an old truck back in service for a bit....with a 8V92 Silver in it....the CB blew up the first day it was seen out in the open....I really need to take some pictures..
