    It's a GM DD 12V71. It belongs in a GM product. Stick with a CO like a Titan or Astro. As far as showing it off, can't see it with the cab down or hood (bonnet for you guys in the UK) closed. But, you better believe you'll hear it coming whatever it's in. On another note, the load on your trailer is starting to look like a super version of "American Pickers". Mike and Frank would be proud.

    Steve, another c.o.e. would definitely be a better choice I think. You have to look into what kind of tight spaces that you'll be getting in to w/deliveries. Any of the c.o.e.'s that housed a 12V-71 to begin w/, would be great.Freightliner, Kenworth, or Pete come to mind.If you decide to go con- ventional, I'd shoot for a KW or Pete , maybe a 4300 I-H Transtar. Just make sure it was already set up for that engine with the plumbing & wiring to make it easier on you and your pocket book.

    Before you start find a truck engine , you will need key components from atruck engine , oil pan , flywheel, flywheel housing , oil pan , intake snorkel , oiler cooler, manifold witch you have , they will work, depending on what truck you put it in

    These were in a lot of cabovers of the day. See if you can get an old KW or Pete conventional. I believe the needle nose is way to skinny for this monster to go into. I cant wait to see what you come up with. I'm in the super heavy transport business so this is exciting for me. Check out Ol2stroke channel. He specializes in Detroits and has several really cool Peterbilt trucks cabover and conventional with Detroit's. I believe his cabover has the 12v71 in it, but he is not a trucker, just enjoys working on them and driving around a little.

    If you want to build something people will look at get a 70s Diamond Reo , an Autocar or a Brockway long nose . Everyone who restores an old truck for show builds a Pete or W900A . Build something that will get everyones attention at a truck show.

    That engine was built pre-Penske time at Detroit Diesel. That bad Boy was made for any Truck. The new Detroit's are exclusively in Freightliners due to Daimler buying DDC. I been working at DDC for 25 years and I will tell you we talk about those engines all the time they were legendary. Then came the series. 60.

    You could use an antique Mack or Diamond Reo......upgrade the suspension driveline and electrical...sort of like they do with the derelict cars, which look bad on the outside but are fully functional modern machines on the inside........whatever you wind up doing, it will be a cool project...

    I'd say throw it in something like a White-Freightliner COE, or even a conventional if you can find one, or just a regular Freightliner FLC. Only issue I can see with that is that I'm not sure if the old Freightliner conventionals like the FLC can fit an engine that size. Seen FLCs with 8V71, and maybe even 8V92 engines, but I've never really found anything on the web about one with a 12V71 in it.🤔
