1960 702 ci V12
 

How about one of these for your truck? Yes they were made for 60-66 chevy (large) trucks. This one would flip my cherry picker real quick.

With that engine, I wonder if you would need to go with the front springs for an A/C truck? LOL

Yeah
I remember laying in bed at night as a kid and hearing the Old Wilson Freight down the road leaving the Terminal Late at night. They Had a Fleet of those trucks with those motors. They have there own unique sound. I kind of miss hearing them. I would love to have one.

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

They used them in stationary compressors also. Like in pipeline/oil field.

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

I would love to hear one run. Here is another forum discussion I found on this engine.



The 702 V12 was a gas engine,never was a diesel version of it. Notice JD's picture has two natural gas/propane carbs. The sparkplugs are on top of the heads between the valve covers and intake manifold. In later years,the 702 V12 was replaced by the 637 V8.

Whups,I read JD's post again. The 702 V12 Was a factory built truck engine, built with a lot of V6 parts. The block,crankshaft and camshaft were one piece V12 units,exclusive to the V12, with 4 V6 351 heads and exhaust manifolds. It used 2 V6 351 intake manifold and carb assys. It had an odd distributor at the rear of the block with the dual points under a metal cover and two 6 cyl distributor heads,rotors,caps to fire all twelve cylinders. The 637 V8 was more powerfull and much more durable.
The downfall of the 702 V12 was that looong spindly crankshaft. Most died from a broken crankshaft in truck use.
Detroit Diesel,atleast in the 149 series,and I think smaller series,assembled V12 and V16 engines by bolting 2 V6 or V8 blocks together. They a special long alignment shaft to fit the main bores of both blocks to keep the mains in alignment while bolting the blocks together.

Here is one of those bad boys. This is how dirty they usually looked too:lol:
Some of theirs were factory and some of theirs were stretched and added on. the hoods were too short and they scabbed a section on kind of hap hazard. Most had two little wimpy exhaust pipes up the back .The picture is really of the 8V-71NE Powered truck. I wish I had a 12 v pic. They had the scabbed hood that looked even stranger. Looked like they had done it themselves.

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

well i have to be honest, if i knew where to find one i would shoehorn it into my truck just to be different!!!! and im serious. the only second thought i would have is gas mileage. anybody know what kind of mileage they get?
thanks,
John

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

what would really be cool is to extend the front end so you dident have to cut into the cab!!! lol that might be my next project(if this one ever gets finished). i shouldent think like that. MY PROJECT WILL GET FINISHED!!!!!!!
John

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

It would be easier to cut into the cab and use a van engine cover though?

Re: 1960 702 ci V12
 

yea that would be easier, but why take the easy way out? lol the hard part is the fun part.... sometimes
