Looking for 12v71

Probably so .. WTF you gonna do with a dirty dozen ?

 

Hopefully put it in a rat rod.

 

Them make a lot of HP and alot of noise.. but not so much torque and they like their fuel.. and they still leave their trade make oil stains on the ground

 

That just about describes my ISX. Everything except the horsepower part.

 

There was one for sale in Ohio ( may still be) out of an old Euclid dump truck for 5k.

My uncle ordered 3 new 359’s in ‘74 from Marvin Rush. Ordered them with same color blue as my ‘67 with NTC 350 Cpl 160’s. Well at that time Cummins had a worldwide engine shortage due to plant strikes and fuel embargo bs at the time. So Marvin tells him so that they can get the trucks moving along the line they would put 8v71’s in 2 of them and a 12v in the 3rd one which was gonna be outfitted as a wrecker and then do Cummins field swaps when engines become available. Almost a year later he swapped the two 8v’s and kept the 12v. We think Marvin was hoping he would be able to keep the 12v for use at the dealership. Lol!

 

@OLDSKOOLERnWV is the man with the info

 

I know alittle about them .. A guy I pulled for in Indiana had a couple he had 1 in a K100 and another in a w900 that 1 was suppouse to be the marine motor they were both impressive but the 1 in the W900 was a little more impressive.. he keep telling how he was gonna twin tubro that marine motor .. I don't know if he ever did.. I quit pulling for him when the IRS came knocking on his door.. I drove the K100 once on I 10 in Arizona it would pull like a freight train untill you found a hill then it lost some of its luster.. that's about all I can tell ya other than what I posted earlier

 

You can buy a running 12V for about $5000 to $9000….
