Detroit Diesel Hot Rod

Now THAT'S a motor. Antique V6 Detroit Diesel engine on an even older Ford t-bucket. This takes the term Rat Rod to levels never seen before. Big thanks to the owner for firing it up so I could catch a video of this beast running. Actually a lot quieter than I expected. This is an amazing project. I can't imaging the hours he's put into it.

6V53, great mill for a hotrod, it's got SCREAMIN' gobs of low end torques, sounds great and VERY easy to work on

[pauldonovan]

That’s the coolest Street Rod I have ever seen! I’ll bet it rides real nice with that Beast of a Motor!

[HANKTHEDANKEST]

[mcozpda]

[waynepickhardt]

That's just sick and unnecessary. I love it!

[Scioneer]

That has a very smooth sound to it for a Diesel. Awesome ride.

Those sound way nicer with a turbo behind, really quiet's it down and makes the motor even more enjoyable.

You can pull your camper trailer to the next town for the next Car Show

That is one sweet machine, There is nothing like the sound of the screaming demon! God bless!

[davezysk]

Really like that never thought about that looks good sounds good

[andrewsmart]

turbo queiten down a bit, the main screaming you hear on these engines is the strait cut rotors in the supercharger, they twisted the rotrs in later engines to make them quieter

[mrceleb]

Now it needs a Kahlenberg air horn like what you hear at a hockey game!

[toddgittins]

Finally, a good application for the Green Weinie!

[smedleyhverovhe]

Sounds just like the engine that was in my APC in the Army.

[Thegourd]

6v53, that's a cool rig. I need to see that thing in action

[bignickthegreat]

this is cool!
and when i mean cool, i mean lock your garage at night lol

[Crimsonedge]

Raise the suspension and get some mud tires on it and I bet that would be a killer rock crawler. All of the power, none of the calories.

[Ignignokt]

Sweet !
I wonder what drive train he ran off of the back of that 6V53T .

[trevdsb]

I'm starting a project with a 653V Detroit and no one seems to know a number for a turbo or size of a turbo wanted to know if you have part numbers or companies etc that I can contact for that turbo

[TheRoguelement]

Heu dude you couldn't figure out anyother place to locate the Turbo so you put it in the Stock location?
