This whole thing of 'mine is bigger than yours' is getting old.

Maybe so but mine really is bigger.

Good point.

How big are those in terms of cubic inches?

DD 6-71s ?

Easy, the first number, 6, is the number of cylinders. The second
number, 71, is the displacement (cid) of each cylinder. Ergo, 6 times
71 is 426 cubic inches. Pretty big for a 6 cylinder engine but the
really big puppies are the 12V71s and 12V92s. Those things are
massive.

That's what I thought - I couldn't remember the what the numbers
meant. Nice to know that I remembered it correctly.
