One of my favorite sounds on earth is a winding up a 6-71 Detroit. Gives me goosebumps.
My dad operated a heavy equipment construction business (dozers, scrapers, graders, bucket loaders, dump trucks, etc). He was one of the best diesel mechanics around and a huge Detroit Diesel fan. In High School, I drove a '72 Ford F-350 that had a 4-53 Detroit swap. My dad used to drive an '81 F350 with a 3208 Cat swap as well. I still have an '79 F250 4x4 with a turbocharged OM352 Mercedes swap and an Electric shift Eaton 2-speed auxiliary.
