THey may be a small CID, BUT those engine are two stroke engines, meaning in theory, they produce power twice as often per-se than a normal 4 stroke cycle Diesel. The two stroke Detroits have blowers on them, and when you open the throttle they wrap up very quick. THey are fun to play with, BUT they will not run unless they leak oil or coolant LOL! My first 'real' job back in high school was working in a gravel pit with the 53 and 71 Series Detroit Diesel engines, and the very first DIesel I ever rebuilt was a 4-71 Detroit.
