Inline or a v configuration? what kind of power could be expected from on of these beasts? What kind of trucks were they in? I'm just lookin for some stories and information on these.

The common sizes were 855,935 and 1091 CID. HP ranging up tp about 350 when using propane for fuel, and remember this is in the early 50s. The H-S engines were avaiable in most truck makes in the 30s to early 50s. They also made a 540 CID engine in the 50s. Other than a V-12 marine engine they were all in -lines . Back in the 20's also had a 4 cyl. that IHC used a lot. Lots of fire engines used the 935 and 1091s in the 50s . Also used in busses in a horizontal under floor style. They were know to make LOTS of power and for being VERY thirsty. Buddy of mine has a 935 in a Seagrave F/T with a 4 inch straight pipe and sure sounds good.
