What's the best engine you've had?

WHAT!
Do you how to drive a Detroit? Before you get in slam your hand in the door. Then you'll be pissed off the rest of the day and ready to go trucking.

 

The first Detroit I ever drove was a 318 with a 6 and 4. Short logger. The only piece of advice on how to drive it came from the truck boss..."Wind it like a two dollar watch". I wasn't sure what he meant but I figured it out by the end of the day.
I don't know how high I was winding it. The tach never did work.

 

1693 Cat , if it could've been fitted with jakes I'd probably be driving one now.

 

Do you know why the bull dog is on the hood?

 

A built Cat 6nz.

I will say a deleted and tuned X15 does pretty well.

 

Does a John Deere Model B count? Still fires up and does it’s thing without fail for the last 81 years.

 

Toyota 22R. In several different 80's pickups. You couldnt kill one of those no matter how hard you tried. The Japanese equivalent of the Dodge/ Plymouth Slant 6. Practically indestructible!

 

‘77 long bed with 20R. Over 300,000 miles on it by 1992. The only thing that killed it was a very very large oaktree on a loose and windy ranch road.
