    A meant aftercooled.

    The 525 was the lower hp.

    They were only about 16 liter.

    The twin turbo was the 475 that came out later, around 85, and I think it was based on the 855 block.

    Then came the 444.....

    The 444 and the 475 twin turbo are 855's and are 14 liters. The K series is 1150cid and 19 liters. Only three ratings were offered in trucks in the US, 450, 525, and 600. The higher two being aftercooled.

    Bore and stroke is 6.25x6.25.

    Thanks for correcting me on the 19 liters. Going from memory, when I could have just Googl.......

    Anyways, I ran for a bit back in the day with both a 525 and a 600. I had a 300 and... a bit.... is the key phrase here......

    I shudder to think what they got as far as gallons per mile.
