Default The Andrea Gail had a gasoline engine

The one that is in the Duece and a half is a smaller motor I think. These
were used in 5 ton plus trucks and track vehicles I think. If I'm not
mistaken they have a standard SAE bobtail.


The LDT-465-1C was used in the duce and half from 1967 on to at least the
1970's but I do believe they still are being used but now with White
building the engines instead of Continental (guess Continental is now gone.
It is amazing how many of these engine are still running. I use to work in
a factory that ran generators powered by Hercules engines.). The nicest
engine I have ever seen was in an submarine (the Bowfin which is currently
at Pearl Harbor). Also a Continental diesel, all of the brass was
absolutely stunning.

I appreciate the up date about the bell housing I will look into that... I
don't know about the 5-ton trucks.
