Spoke with Bud Capps, of Bud Capps Grading, yesterday, about his longnose C90 tandem tractor. He says it's powered by a 318 Detroit. He also said he had purchased his C90, from the same place, the other Company here in town, had purchased theirs.
For those out there that would like to hear what a 318 Detroit (8V-71) sounds like click onto here:
http://www.telusplanet.net/public/ryq/ It is actually a recording of a 12V-71 but a 318 sounds a lot like it.
Scroll down to Audio Clips and the 3rd one down is a 12V-71 "Warming Up".
There are other Detroits on there, but no 8V-71 as of yet. The owner of the site adds new ones now and then.
With some small mufflers a 318 can sound sweet.
