72U685ST Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 In the opening scene of convoy when the angry bird is cresting the hill it sounds like a detroit, anyone know what engine the truck had, i know they used like 5 R700's in the movie but did any come with a factory detroit?

Terry T Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 About anything you want to know about the movie can be found here:http://www.stlouisdumptrucks.com/ConvoyMackTruck/index.htmlDan is the man when it comes to "Convoy" knowledge & considering he owns two of the RD trucks & the surviving trailer I don't doubt what he says....

JumperAndSon Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The truck itself has a NTC-350 Cummins but they covered the sound with a recording of an 8V71 Detroit. They actually used 5 different trucks to film the movie. I'm a Convoy lunatic. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think the story goes, the Mack "cab" they used for inside scenes was pulled with a KW with a detroit in it. Thus they used the sound from it. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 the original Angry Bird had an ETAZ673 tip turbine engine in it i believe which would be a 300+ with a 10 speed roadranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Also used a KW 100 done up as a Cruiseliner for Pigpens double Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Maybe they used Detroit sound record and KW in that scene although "Conwoy" is a real legend indeed Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
