Sounds like a cool project. Haven't seen a Silver 8V92 in a long time. Love the way those babies sound with straight pipes...

hehe, that isnt the motor the truck originally had. It was a 425 hp Caterpillar 3406B model, but to better make the character with the evil sound we found a Silver 92... AND we are putting dual 8 inch straight pipes with absolutely NO mufflers on it... Talk about Satan's motor...

This motor is one of the best ones ive seen though, it doesnt sling oil in every direction and for a two stroke it doesnt smoke too bad... except under heavy throttle, when it just bellows it.

AWESOME - There's nothing else that sounds like those engines. I remember when the Silver version came out, dad was running an old 318 hp 8V71 in his cabover GMC Jimmy. The old Detroits are definitely the most unique and meanest sounding diesels ever. Great engine choice, the Cat just wouldn't have been obnoxious enough for this project

Its Motormaster.

Ten BUCKS, they would last a year in the freezer at least. They taste great if prepared right. Have you heard food is going up. LOL!!!

Tell him you'll take them but you want them alive and well. LOL again.
