Dsiplacement and Configuration ?

[lizzyhermit]

What is the average displacement of the over the road semi's engines and are they usually 6 cylinders ?

11-14 liters (671-854 cubic inches) are the Cummins offerings. Yes, the typical Cummins, Cat and Detroit are in-line 6 cylinder engines.



(OK, the 11 liter is actually 10. 8 liters, or 659 cubic inches. Cummins marketing rounds it off to 11 liters. )

I know this is a serious subject and I do not mean to crack wise, but your response reminded me of the Spinal Tap amplifiers...

It goes to Eleven

Do they even offer V8 conf. engines in the OTR trucks anymore? I haven't seen one in a newer truck. I know their out there in the older trucks.

i don't think they do anymore. you use to be able to get a 3408 cat or 8v71/92 DDC green grenades... and there was some cummins V8... not popular anymore at all... inline is they way to go
