What engine is this??

[DrKerry]

I put this in my Pete wrecker years ago and I don't know what kit it came out of or what size engine it is.... thanks in advance everyone!!!!!!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Looks like the 8v-92T Detroit and Allison automatic transmission out of the AMT Aerodyne KW.

Thanks gents, guess it's time to look for another engine to put in the Pete..... Looking at the list that was posted on the forum here of the engines and kits they were in, I'd be leaning more towards the Detroit 8V-71 8 cyl or the Detroit 12V-71 with the blowers on it. If not those I'd go with the Cummin's NTC-475 twin turbo.. although not sure on how hard it would be to find these... I know the 12V is in resin by a few casters so it'd come down to price on that one. However don't want to buy a complete kit just to pull the engine assembly out of it either...... Will have to look into it more and see what I can do, at work right now and break is short. Look more when I get home!!!!!!!

Thanks again for the info guys!!!!!!

The first  AMT "small window" cab Peterbilt 359 Wrecker version has a 8V-71, same engine as the 352 kit has, the later 1100 cab issue of the 359 Wrecker has a Cummins NTC-350.
If you want a 12V-71 you can find one in the AMT Tyrone Malone Super Boss, Auslowe and Mo'luminum has resin versions of that engine.

The Cummins NTC-475 Twin Turbo is not that hard to find, I have bought a couple recently on ebay, a couple of sellers parts out Revell AG trucksand put the parts out on ebay, the engine can be found in the Revell AG Peterbilt 359, Kenworth K100 and T600 kits.
If you want a V8 but prefer four stroke you have the Cat 3408 in the Revell AG Kenworth W900, that engine can also be found from time to time on ebay from the same sellers.

thank you much for the info Håkan!!!!!! Great to know... to me guess doesn't have to be the 12 cylinder just thought of putting one in and having a decal made that said "Buzzin' Dozen'" on the side of it. I have a 8v-71 now after a trade deal but it needs a few small parts and could find them easy enough!!! so that may go in it as I already have it!!!!
