My buddy has two Detroit 8-71TI's in a Hatteras. Old engines but way cool with two turbos intercooled and feeding the blower. 425hp and ridiculous torque. No glowplugs and no cold starting system. Dunno if they even have block heaters. They are very cold-blooded and smoke enough to kill every mosquito in the state for a few minutes until warm. They take a good bit of cranking to get them to light off. I know its old tech but the noise they make is great. RT
