    Love the screamin jimmy grew up hearing these 6-71 Detroits all the time
  • I drove a 8v 71 as a young man, she would have come on song if you were to wind her up to about 2500 rpm, then you would hear a screaming jimmy! Have you ever seen a Detroit nightlight? When you are pulling hard at night you can see the glow from the red hot stack and the fire coming out the top.
  • There is no sound that can compare to an old 2 cycle Detroit, and there never will be.
  • Very nice, great video. Love watching old machines get another chance. I also watch Diesel Creek.

    Was the actual first start in the vid the first start in years :O :O :O If so congrats MINT 6-71 !!!!
  • With the old Detroit, if you plan on driving that much, you have to learn how to slam your hand in the door and drive it like you’re mad at the world

    If I'm gonna get if I'm gonna get abstract, I mean I'm hanging to I would go and get me a Cummins out of a out of an out of an old Ford something from the 90s and dropping at and keep that Jimmy and either make it home make it put a flat bin on it or a stake body or set it up. Put a nice new s eval's. Put a nice new frame on there and give it setup for Holland Paul and tractors. And stuff make it get ready 24 somebody's as a bad dude

    Very cool....my vote is to put the 2 stroke detroit 671 into the 55 Ford, truck...way cool...

    All the Detroit 2 strokes were supercharged later they were both supercharged and turbocharged
  • @hom._.
    They all have superchargers, it won't run without one.
