There was a guy hauling steel that had a V - 12 in a cracker box when I was driving it wasn't painted up just kinda rough looking but sure was a sleeper and someone tried to show off the big engine he would show them how to go down the road.

The 12V71 and 8V92T are my favorite engines and would love to have one someday in an old Kenworth or Pete.  I did spot an old 70's W900 in the weeds with Cummins 350 in it, but stopped myself from trying to contact the owner to purchase.  I thought right away about how awesome that would be with a 8V92T in it.

My truck will be pretty much straight piped with exception of a small resonator.  I'll try that first and see how drivable it is and then go from there.  I've primed the neighbourhood to noise by riding my straight piped bikes I have and no complaints.  I'll pretty much run idle power until I get clear of the neighbourhood.:)

My house came with a 45'x80'pole barn. 6" thick concrete floor, heated, has a stand alone power pole and transformer and barn wired for 440. Never used it but every farmer around want that barn for a shop. ;)

I bet, that sounds like it would make a great shop.

The binder would have been very nice with the 8V92T.  My dad owned the same model but 1980 with a KTA450 in it.  It pulled well, but could not keep up to the 8V92T with 475 hp.
