Old Albion Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Whilst building the 352 Pacemaker and the 359 I kept moving the engine parts around the box to get access to the parts I wanted for the truck builds. I thought why not build the engines and then they are out of the way and ready for some future truck builds. Tim has some great reference photo's on his web site some in black and white show the cab of a 352 tilted giving access to the Detroit Engine. The engine is an 8V71T with the turbocharged mounted at the right rear. So I decided to build one engine for a COE truck and one for a conventional. http://www.fotki.com'>Hosted on Fotki http://www.fotki.com'>Hosted on Fotki The fans and pulleys are not yet glued in place and there's still some weathering to do. But I will wait until they are installed to finish them off. Thanks for looking. Edited December 5, 2012 by Old Albion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 They look great Dave! I have never seen that turbo arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Many thanks for the comments. Ben, I must admit I had never seen that turbo configuration either. That was until I found four or five black and white photo's of the engine fitted into a 352 on Tim's website. I tried to find the photo's again but couldn't. If you check out the details of Tim's web page "why Peterbilt paint the engines white" you will see some Detroits with the same turbo configuration. I don't know if the configuration was unique to Peterbilt or it was a standard on offer from DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
