They're great engines, my 4-53T is 43 years old and driven daily. I hope to have this 6V71 into a chassis in two to three years.:) It's a brand new engine that was never used after overhaul.:) Thanks for watching.:)
Thanks, They’re great engines that’s for sure. Looking forward to getting this one back on the road.:). I drive a 4-53T daily, but love the 71 series as well. Thanks for watching.
That engine would probably run for the next ten years sitting right there if you let it. You lucky guy to have a friend who would hook you up with that fine machine!
That would be awesome, I was looking for a 6V92T, but this engine was given to me so I'll use it. I hope to squeeze 300 HP and 700 FTLBS of torque from it. Should sound really nice.
I just bought a 671 and got another complete one as a parts engine free with it. How can you tell what year these engines are? The one that runs came out of an oil field truck and has an Allison 4460 behind it. It also has a nice V 4 air compressor on it.
@@detroitgarage9430 The serial number is 6A0144162 and the model is 1063-7000 I looked for some info on finding the exact year, but didn't see anything. Also I wanted to ask if the rack can be converted to the safety type? All the injectors are free and it is suppose to run and the guy said it had just had new N70 injectors put in it. I'm just learning about these and appreciate all your info.
That's the seal and drive coupler for the blower itself, the two access covers below to the left and right of the blower are for accessories. I'll probably use one for the compressor and the other for the alternator.:)
No I've never plugged the exhaust here as we live in a desert, so very low humidity. The previous owner plugged the intake and exhaust ports, but he was down on the coast with high humidity. I'll be starting it up again in a few weeks to help keep things lubricated.:) Thanks for watching.:)
True, I think I'm going with N90's or something similar. The plan is for a single K31 set to 15 psi with an intercooler and bypassed blower. Hope to squeeze out 300HP and 650-700 FTLBS of torque.:)
@@detroitgarage9430 whats engine like this weigh. Got a C80 1966 truck that would work great in. 5 sp n 2 sp axle. Thanks for video. Motor sounds awesome
I thought the same thing when I first saw that. Looks more like air mixed in getting whipped up through the valve train. Oil in the pan is still honey clean, but will keep an eye on that. I'll certainly know when I pull the valve covers this after noon.:)
Love to hear the old Detroits run!!!!!
They sure are nice.:)
success! great sounding engine. very excited to watch the pete build.
Thanks I’ll slowly start looking for parts and build up a truck. Should be a lot of fun.:)
Love these motors, 60plus years old still going strong.

I love the sound of the 8v71 and 8v92 more, but the sound of the 6v71 reminds me of a GM 3800 v6
They sure do sound great.:) Thanks for watching.:)
Still awesome to hear that sound thank you for sharing i miss working on those ol girls
They sure are nice to listen to, thanks for watching.:) I have a 4-53T in my 2009 Ford F350 I listen to daily, so I get my fix.:)
Love the old Detroit , great sounding engine , awesome oil pressure . Wish it was mine . Great video sir .

Very true, a great engine and great friend. Can't wait to get this project on the go.:)
Looking and sounding great!
Thanks, very happy indeed.:)
Sounds great! Another great video...
Thanks.:)
Id like to see an 8v92 semi sized muscle truck

There's a serial number on the block and one on valve cover tag.:) Sometimes the tag/id plate get removed.:)

Kep up the great videos. What do you think the smoke coming out of right side first cyinder exaust?
Bad injector, I had to use a 5A60 in place of an N65 that I could not free up. I’ll build a good N65 and replace the 5A60.:)
What accessory is the belt and pulley at the back of the blower for?
That's the seal and drive coupler for the blower itself, the two access covers below to the left and right of the blower are for accessories. I'll probably use one for the compressor and the other for the alternator.:)
I wanna put one of these into an international loadstar 1600
Make a great swap.:). Thanks for watching.
Detroit Diesels: You can abandon them for 40 years, drop a nuke on them, and they'll still turn over and fire on no more than a Taco Fart 🤣
Very true, virtually indestructible.:) Thanks for watching.:)
You don't have to plug exhaust ports after running? Or not warmed up enough?
No I've never plugged the exhaust here as we live in a desert, so very low humidity. The previous owner plugged the intake and exhaust ports, but he was down on the coast with high humidity. I'll be starting it up again in a few weeks to help keep things lubricated.:) Thanks for watching.:)
@@detroitgarage9430 I thought too fast cooling off/warping. thx
@@wrenchguy No, that's not an issue with Detroits.:) Only issue is running low on coolant and overheating the heads. This causes the heads to crack.:)
Guys and I am hoping I am not the only one, gals too =)
Very true, I'll have to do that from now on.:) Thanks for watching.:)
Mr Detroit, all it needs now is some N140 injectors a bypass blower, and 2 turbo's! What injectors are in it now? N55's or maybe HV6?
I saw in your other replies that it has N65's in it. I stand by my statement that it needs N140's! I might settle for N90s!
True, I think I'm going with N90's or something similar. The plan is for a single K31 set to 15 psi with an intercooler and bypassed blower. Hope to squeeze out 300HP and 650-700 FTLBS of torque.:)

@@austintyler7991 It’s around 2100 LBS.:). Pretty heavy considering the power output of 300 HP.
@@detroitgarage9430 wow i fig that was a 24 cylinder weight ?
Why does it sound like it's running on 5 cylinders
One bad injector, replaced and runs great.:) If you go to 5:44 you can see the bad injector.
Watery oil?
I thought the same thing when I first saw that. Looks more like air mixed in getting whipped up through the valve train. Oil in the pan is still honey clean, but will keep an eye on that. I'll certainly know when I pull the valve covers this after noon.:)
Love me some v71 action! Also, this would be even MORE cool in the ol Ferd. Just sayin'.
Looks like he's a keeper.:)
