Looks like the cost grew up pretty fast.

That would be a good truck to transplant a mechanical E7 in.

[ranchhopper]

Something is off about that truck cant figure out what yet maybe just the crappy paint but it looks like if it could be scratched , cracked or dented it was.

[mrsmackpaul]

I no I shouldnt be rude but that paint job makes any painting I do look good

looks like its being done with a "thumb nail dipped in tar" as the poem goes

When you can find an E7 powered Superliner any day why would you ruin a cool Superliner with a Butt kicking KT by transplanting it? That is a kinda rare truck

[mack mhe9]

And if you were going to run it to make money. E7 or N14 or ISX. But the N14 would be a better swap. JMO.

Paul, that's cool you shared that.

Don't know how it would be for the rest of you native folks but to me it was a real tongue twister.

I agree on the paint work.

i think the street value of the KT. is worth more than the reserve bid!

the last i knew a front cover was worth 1800.00

What is a "KT"?

[slpwlker]

What is a "KT"?

A big old school Cummins.

Is it a 450 or 600?

[gearhead204]

cummins had a series of engines of a larger size than the 855 that we all know of. the T series was avaible in a vee, known as a vt series and the K which were in line engines if i remember my history right.they also had individual cylinder heads instead of paired like the 855.

[hatcity]

by the pic, looks like individual heads

[Yoos Brothers Construction]

KT's are BIG! They are 1150 cubic inches! Superliners with KT's are hard to come by for sure.

Thanks, Josh

[masterwelder]

Thanks for the "schooling" on the "old school"!

Banjo Paterson I would think would have to be Australia's most famous poet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_Paterson

Paul but my favorite Australian poem would be this one "My Country" http://www.dorotheamackellar.com.au/archive/mycountry.htm

and particularly this verse it makes me feel all a bit strange in side

Im a bit of a girls blouse hey

seeya

Paul

sorry for taking it off topic

The K came in 3 ratings that I remember KT-450,KTA(aftercooled) 525 and 600hp. There was a story in Owner/Operator magazine years ago about a guy with a Freightliner conventional pulling a bulk tank with KTA-525 under the hood. He said in the article,Freightliner wouldn't warranty the frame rails higher than the 525 rating. Later a buddy told me he had a KT-450 in his Freightliner conv.,and the torque of the K broke his frame. Go figure! Al
