me thinx most of the V12-71 were wimpz
the ones eye heard of were derated heaps
probly 375Hp
wen U could normally get 476hp or more for automotive use
guess n bout 1200ftLb torque
B 4 the 92 series twaz released bout 1974 all they ran from the Jimmy diesel stable twaz the 8V-71 @ 318HP n 860ftLb torque
otheres may B mor precise on me 2 cents worth
but the info iz tax free 2 day
LOL

thats correct cummins do have a big snail bolted on the exhaust with the V12-71 series i was expecting 500 draughthorses + :-[

G'day we were running 12-71s in our underground trucks at one stage and I seem to remember them being derated to 500hp but I could be wrong, don't remember the torque figures though. Pretty sure they were derated to keep smoke levels under control
