Young Ed Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Wow that is a lot of engine for that little hotrod! My neighbor has(had) an early 60s GMC firetruck with one of those in it. He bought the front half of another truck just to get a spare engine. 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Back in the late 70's when I was an Ice Cream distributor I bought this V-6 powered GMC. With a full load of Ice Cream going up a hill it was low gear all the way to the top. 2 Quote

At a quick glance it resembles 2 Poly engines inline. I have never seen one of these before! Wow! Something new to learn about, I love this hobby! Quote
countrytravler Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 The most common use for these monsters was irrigation pumps where that would run them at about 2350 rpm for 5-6 months at a time,shut them down long enough to change oil,oil filter and plugs, typically would run like this for 6-8000 hours before the first overhaul,They were also used in BIG trucks and fire trucks.With a few parts from Thunder v-12, they can be turned to about 5000 rpm, and make about 750 ft.lbs of torque and about 450 hp.: eek 2 Quote
48Dodger Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Posted February 9, 2017 Seriously.....That's a new one on me....I would have sworn at a distance it was two V8's tacted together....Awesome pictures Dave. Gonna have to find one and see it in person! Lol 48D 1 Quote

48Dodger Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Ok.....survived the storm. It wasn't as bad as they thought, but less than 2 hours away 14,000 people are being evacuated due to flooding. The main reason is the heavy snow melt.....the first rains came with low temps....the later rains have come with high temps....so the snow that has been melted with the latest heavy rains, is punishing those at the bottom of the "hill". I hope forum members who live that way are doing well. I'm going to begin a very focused clean up for the BBQ today until April 1st .....anyone who wishes to stop by, has time, wants to help, give me a call and I'll take you up on it...lol. Its just work....not flood recovery....I want the place to look nice for all to enjoy! I betting it will be the greenist BBQ yet!!! 48D Edited February 22, 2017 by 48dodger Quote
ggdad1951 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 well we have been having 60° days here in MN for almost 4 days straight now and had rain on Monday that would have equated to FEET of snow...weather this year so far has been interesting. If not for the muddy driveway I would have taken FEF out for a RARE February drive! Glad you came thru it ok brother! 1 Quote
