[DMcPherson]

its green so its probably the same thing. thought that was interesting, I should have taken a pic of th ehuge hole in the block on the other side

 

[Turbo Tim 1]

ONAN green instead of Cummins tan, the one that is green is a K-19 which is 18. 9 liters and rated for over 1000 hp

 

[DMcPherson]

yeah its still a Cummins. I think this came out of a boat. i think its a ktta-19 1200 or something like that.

 

[Mhannink]

if thats a kta cummins then i know someone who wants to put that in an old narrow nose kenworth. it is an interesting setup though looks to be a little less complex then the setups we use

 

[DMcPherson]

I would love to see that thing in a truck. I have seen 3208 cats in peterbilts and thats pretty interesting. size wise i think the kta is bigger. on the crate it was allmost as tall as me.

I'm pretty sure that the K series 19 liter Cummins was (and remains) the largest and most powerful engine ever built for roadgoing use. Mmmmmmmmm... ... cubic inches!

This quote below is from Bruce C. Mallinson of Diesel Injection of Pittsburgh about the engine in the pic

If you are of the chosen few owner operators that own a KTA 1150 cu inch Cummins engine your multiplier is 66 ft lbs of torque per 1 pound of turbo boost. Butch Shuman of Tye Texas has one of our Twin-Turbo HVT-KTTA 1150 cu inch Cummins engines that produces in excess of 54 pounds of turbo boost which equates to 3564 foot pounds of torque and Mr. Shuman does not destroy transmissions. If you’re passing through Tye, Texas stop by Shuman Equipment Co. Butch could love to show you his 1978 extended hood Kenworth. This truck will spin the drive tires while pulling an empty bull rack at 85 miles per hour and using 54 pounds of turbo boost. Tire and drive line life are all controlled by the drivers right foot.

There are a lot of trucks on the road with 3408 cats in them that is more of a hood full than the kta 19 size wise but not as much power but still impressive in an otr truck.
