We're talking about the iconic GM 2-Stroke Diesel, better known as the legendary Detroit Diesel! Forget four-stroke refinement; this is pure, unadulterated power.
With a power stroke on every revolution, these engines (like the famous Series 71 and Series 92) deliver incredible power-to-weight ratios and that unmistakable, high-pitched scream. They didn't just run the roads—they ran tugboats, fire trucks, and military vehicles!
Key Features:
Power on Every Turn: Higher RPMs and quicker response.
Roots Blower: Essential for scavenging and packing air in.
Built to Last: Simpler, robust design made for easy in-frame rebuilds.
