Yep, the T is for Turbo. I had a 6V53 with twin turbos in a 61 F350, that was quite a truck!

Making a stationary Detroit into a vehicle engine is a quite simple, just change the governor to a limiting speed type if it's not already. Likely you will change oil pickup and sump but not always necessary, and find a flywheel for an automotive clutch.

Detroits are quite simple and easy to work on, and the service manual is very well done.
