hey guys/macfie's golburn v12 71.throw at me what you got on it.serial #?got an engine.want to build a replica.does the truck survive in some form?im dead serious.its a very significant vehicle to all fans of the bayswater brand.

when i last saw it over at western highway truck sales (vic) quite a few years ago it still with the original cab and tags, and gantry setup on the fairly original chassis..

G'day 352rhd


I just spoke to Andrew from Western Hwy Trucks and he does remember that truck. It was a ex Macfees. It had dual range Eatons and torsion bars still in it. It was white and burgandy hooked up to a semi tipper. The bloke who bought it came from S.A.

Thats a bloody nice truch Swish!

Anyone know the HP output of the 12V71?

Yes nice truck

But under utilized

a screemer should B max n out

a V6-71 = 238 HP so the V12-71 should B 476 HP

U gotta get the music out there

Would depend on the injectors.I think some of the Aussie ones fitted in Kenworths were 404 HP....
Cheers James.

435 hp or 475hp mostly

it states in swishys' text...12V71 NE...375 BHP and 1100 lb/ft of torque

she was rated for ''economy'' ...hence the NE
