farmer52 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Thanks! It looks like a Cummins. I do not know what year is the truck. If it was a Detroit engine it would be a V engine (6V or 8V).Did International offer the Series 60 in a Transtar?

tkobes43 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 your right!! I forgot a about the V shape. Its not a series 60 probably a NTC series. 350 or 400. Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumperAndSon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I feel so special! Definitely not a Detroit as the 6-71 has two roundish covers on the back of the block below the head. Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkobes43 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Damn it, That one was a Eagle Transtar II, Still on the hunt for one with a Detroit. Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a Detroit engine it would be a V engine (6V or 8V).Did International offer the Series 60 in a Transtar?So it couldn't be 671 Detroit? Different motor than a 6v71... ?

E9V8 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 671 is the same thing as a 6v71. A 6-71 is an inline 6 cylinder ~ I know them as a "238".Had one in an old FWD water truck at the quarry where I used to work. I swear it would turn at least 4000 rpm.

1958 F.W.D. Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Many many firetrucks had I671's.....Including my volunteer outfit's 1978 Hahn, which had the first I671T (turbocharged) that Hahn ever installed in one of their trucks. Yes, the loud, obnoxious, smoke-blowing, oil-dripping, two-cycle lawn boy wanna-be mechanical assholes came in inline and V versions. The scavenging blower on the inline versions were mounted on the sides. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ike Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 671 is the same thing as a 6v71. TomNegative... 671 is an inline six with each cylinder having 71 cubic inches. 6v71 is a V6 with each having 71 cubic inches... Nomenclature is the same for all 53, 71, 92 series detroits. 653 inline 6... 6v53 is V6...

other dog Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Were any inline DD engines available in the Transtar?I would think you could get 6-71's in them in the early days, but I do not know for sure.

1958 F.W.D. Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I would think you could get 6-71's in them in the early days, but I do not know for sure.I671's were available in the mid-1940's I believe (back when Detroit was known as GM Diesel.) They were especially popular as a marine engine for their ability to run backwards. The Philadelphia Fire Department had three fireboats that all had four I671's that could be clutched in any combination of propulsion/pump drives.
