The triple nickel was short on longevity and a whole lot of woe when it came to repairs. Few mechanics would work on the quirky engines, they rattled alot and were the envy of Detroit Diesel for oil leaking. The 903 was more commonly called the 90nothing or the 900 cubic inch with three working cylinders.
Parts are becoming scarce as the engine company has not made either in some twenty years and few were actually built, thank goodness.
Me, I hated dealing with either as most times they were in a short nose with the back two cylinders under the cowl or in a cabover with a shift tower on one side in the way and the engines tucked so far in to give you claustraphobia.
