This engine is a good horse. I spent lots of miles in a semi tractor powered with a 6-71, N65 injectors, rated at 238 hp and pulling 73,000 lbs. the 4-71 with N65's would be 148, but those are big horses. The Detroit is a more economical engine than the Cummins and lasts longer. We ran a fleet that included both Detroits and Cummins and the Detroits got about a tenth of a mile per gallon better fuel mileage and lasted, on average, about 100,000 miles further between overhauls than the Cummins. In a single axle straight truck this would be more than enough power. the big question is whether you want to spend all it would take to convert this thing. Look into that carefully.
