- Here is the completed Detroit Diesel 8V92 motor, transmission and radiator ready for installation into my restored 1979 Kenworth K100 Aerodyne. This video shows the motor being test run on the jig with a couple of bursts of Jake brake for good measure.
I have been following your progress on this restoration and I must say your eye for detail is second to none. Awesome job so far.
Great job on restoring this stunning example of Kenworth history. Your structural improvements on the cab and attention to detail are strong. I look forward to a video of the truck running.
I love the sound of a Detroit Diesel. Awesome job on the whole restoration.
love the purr of a Detroit V8...love the paintwork on the prime mover too
I like this very much. You have a good eye for detail and perfection.
Somewhere in my childhood souvenirs is a Silver 92 (shape and logo) key fob. The shop where my dad worked was a Detroit shop and those were the BIG THING in the local oil patch at the time (around 1980). The 6V and 8V-71 and -92s were very popular.
Awesomeness Paul..!! this is a real credit to you mate.., a near perfect restoration of a Mighty Detroit..., just one thing missing though to get it from 99% correct to the magic 100% correct........... and thats the mandatory 'Black Oil Puddle' on the ground directly beneath it that they are renowned for.. hahahaha..... but seriously this project is totally brilliant and a fantastic tribute to one of the best Kenworth models ever built...!! well done my friend... Kind Regards, Carl.
Sounds great. Super clean. Love the truck rebuild.

Awesome job Paul, can't wait to see video of it rolling down the road. but all good things take time :) & understand things like family, money & life, put a hold on things sometimes :) keep up the great work
Totally nice work!
God that sounds good.
Awesome job Buddy. I bet your neighbors loved you that day! Hey It's JJ from Oklahoma City here. You have done a Great job on this project. Someday when I get a Load out there you owe me a ride in this Beautiful Tractor. Looking forward to catching up with you. By The Way, Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Cadillac that I might remember in the background? Till then Cheers my Friend.
Good stuff! I want to do a K100 and an LW once I get my W900 done.

i love the truck is awesome dude!!!!
what is the transmition that u gonna use in this truck?
Great job on the engine. How hard was it to do the wiring harness? Do you have a wiring diagram for a 8V92? I'm restoring a 79 also but mine didn't have a harness.
Paul, can I trade you trucks for a bit? Maybe you could recondition my '03 Intl Eagle with Detroit S-60 while I truck around with your ride for a while. I had an 80's flat top version of this truck but I prefer the V.I.T. Aerodynes like this one even more. Back when Mayflower existed, this was pretty much the fleet truck and there were hundreds all painted one color, Mayflower Green and they had beautiful diamond tuck gray interiors. I miss driving them.
Aight! u can fix my Engine 2!
why such a high idle should you not run it at a lower idle for a bit to seat the rings and such ?
It's a Detroit 2 stroke, and it's idling at about 800 or so rpm. That's why they're called 'Screaming Jimmys' or 'Yamahas'.
great job on the restoration and improvements. Too bad you put a Detroit in it, really sad.....3406 CAT would have been perfect....I guess you like shifting.
AndersonPrototypes. Or a 3408 mechanical air to air with strong jakes. Detroits are loud, leak, underpowered, annoying, & just flat out suck!!!
@@truckerray7533 did you not here him he wants it as close to oem as possible.my 475 and dad's 318 were not under powered just had to know how to tune em and a few other engine tricks
@@kingjames7273 10-4! Just had bad experianced with detroits & no respect dor em.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE A DETROIT...........CUMMINS OR CAT WOULDVE BEEN SO MUCH NICER. DONT FORGET YOUR EAR PRO WHEN U GO FOR A DRIVE.
Maybe that was what was in the truck to start with and he wanted to stay with the original configuration. Is it a restoration or a restormod?
It's the engine in the truck he told us he wanted it original
