Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something.

I have seen and heard a V-12 run. It was a 550 kw genset. Thought I had a deal to buy it but the deal went south. A-C did not use the V-12 in any of their own equipment other than gensets to my knowledge. I don't think the V-8 ever got into production.

Talked to a guy who said he saw the V-8's tested in the HD-41 crawler and said they would run 1000 hrs and then grenade. I posted pictures and info last year.
