I think I want one of these for my TC29D

I seriously think I could get by with the 6 cylinder. I really love the 102 RPM idea

Diesel Engine

Might as well go for the full 14 cylinder model...

You don't want to have to realize later what you bought was too small.

You may need to upgrade your tires...wheelspin may be a problem with the slight increase in torque. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

( wheelspin may be a problem )

Not if you add some weight! I'd suggest filling your tires. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Maybe some wheel weights too....

You're going to have to buy at least one more yellow plastic fuel jug also /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Neat link, thanks /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Should be a breeze to drop that right in your TC29D. You may have modify the exhaust slightly. I do think you may need a larger fuel tank though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Available in HST/GST/Gear/Other? or is it kind of a "1 speed does all"?

I don't think weight would be an issue any more! I wonder how big the transmission (reverser) is for that thing, and how they get it into the ship.

"and how they get it into the ship." 

It's just a simple a two step process:

1. Place engine in drydock.
2. Build ship around engine. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
