You joke, but I wanna do that one day. It makes no sense, will make no power, get terrible fuel mileage lol...but they sound so good

I think the two stroke Detroits are as cool as can be.

When you consider a 4-53 is only 212 cubic inches, that’s pretty darn impressive they made the numbers they did, being put in trucks with a gvwr of 30k, or combined to 60k lbs.

Brochure cuts below are from 1980, the 2 stroke Detroit platform was already 40 years old, but wasn’t far behind the new 8.2 fuel pinchers. Despite being less than half the displacement.

Oh wow! I've never actually looked up power numbers, just knew you basically have to hold them at redline to make power
