12V71 is what my 72 0rignally sold with. Bought it in 74 with a blown up Detroit, 5x4 with a duplex overdrive and no rearends. It was a straight truck that we built into a 1693TA triple digit large car... 'Sneaky Pete' ran one million 763,900 miles before we retired her.

127" Bumper to the Back of the Cab 127" BBC. I drove a 85' W900 without power steering with a Big Cam 400. I thought it was better than power steering with the axle tipped back about 3 degrees. I was in and out of mills backing around corners to get to bunkers and tilt boards. Love the sound of the turbo when you had the camera by the air cleaner. Awesome Pete, thanks for sharing.

Bought a 73 359 new with the 1693 and it gave me 30 years of service before I upgraded to a 3406b. I still have the original and 3 extras for parts. Would sell the 3 extras if anyone is interested. And you're right that turbo had a sound all its own

The extended hood Pete and KW were availiable long before the Cummins KTA was put in trucks. They were first put in trucks in the mid 70s. I have been told the extended hood was created to accomodate the long length of the 1693. The gear train for the overhead cams was in the rear of the engine which made the engines so long in length. The extended hoods were first made availiable in the late 60s.

@malonemotorsports1 Your right, it has double overhead cams and it has glows plugs. All that noise at idle and when the engine isn't working comes from the precombustion chambers. As soon as you put a load on it it becomes one of the smoothest engines you will ever drive. It also has a turbo sound you won't find on any other engine.

I drove a 1975 Pete 352 cabover with a 425hp 1693 and it had a 13spd. with 4.10 rears and that truck was one of the weirdest pulling mechanical motors that I have ever drove. It was not fast getting going and I would go as far as to call it slow!! But it would just keep going and going and you would look down and the speedometer would be pegged and you would be running 90+ mph loaded without even realizing it!!! I drove old 335hp Cummins with 9 speeds that would walk the dog on that Cat from a dead stop but on the big end that Cat didn't know when to stop!!!

My dad used to call them claterpillars.What was funny is despite the fact they sounded to rough at idle, they idled smoother than Cummins did. You could use the mirrors at idle! I remember, and perhaps it is because I don't hear the high frequencies anymore, that you did not hear the engine at all off idle, all you heard was the screaming of the turbo! I loved riding in the trucks with 1693s!

@FreemanTrucking As far as I know they only put the 1693 in the extended hood. That was the reason Peterbilt created the extended hood was to accomodate the 1693 engine because it was so long. The VIN is 42289P. There were was so much demand for the look of the extended hood look Peterbilt keep as an option for detroit and cummins powered trucks but it originally was designed for the 1693.

They still have the traditional style chassis out there, but the problem is the cost of fuel. If you are getting the right money for freight, you can make a business case for something like this, but 4-5 mpg ( even less with the loads that this guy pulls ) will hurt after a while. The moderns are getting 7-9 mpg with great performance, and after owning two mechanical engines, I'll stick with the pre-emission electronic motors.

your explanation of Peterbilt's 127 inch hood is incorrect. The 1693 always did fit fine in the short hood 359's. It was the Cummins KT's that needed the longer hood, because they had over 250 more cubic inches than the 1693. The only special feature Pete did for the Cats, was put a removable plate on the firewall, so a mechanic could work on the rear of the engine, from inside the cab, prior to head removal.

James K..... The cubic inch (ci) displacement of Any engine.... has absolutely Nothing to do with its outer physical dimensions (directly).... ci is the combined measurement of each cylinders swept volume X the bore (squared) X the stroke, times the number of cylinders.... Not the outside physical dimensions of the engine. The calculus for determining cid is... 0.7854 x Bore2 (in.) x Stroke (in.) x Number of Cylinders. The size of the combustion chamber (either in the head of gasoline engines or within the piston of a di diesel) is NOT included in the calculus.... swept cylinder volume, Only.

If you happen to be talking about a Mack, that's a 5 speed main, with a 4 speed auxiliary. But this was used by many truck makers that used different transmissions. 5x4, 6x4, 6x5, etc. Back in the day truck engines didn't have a lot of power, so they made up for it by the use of a lot of gears. You could start out with a heavy load in Low Low and work your way up through the gears and before you know it you are rolling 50 or 60 miles down the highway.
