I see listings for 320hp marine ones too. I'm sure they are few and far between though.
What is the smallest engines that have jake brakes? I always wanted to make a rat rod with a jake!!
Real jakes....I'd say L10 cummins, or maybe you could find a set for a 6-71 Detroit...
A 6-71 with jakes and a straight pipe would be BAD noisy.

I have a 6v92 with jakes, they aren't what I'd consider "small".

The best part about using the Deutz is you would only have to fill the tank once in its life. Our neighbor baled hay with one and I swear the thing made fuel.
I hadn't been around one in a long time, I forgot how tall they are. A 53 isn't real small either.
I always wanted to do a hot rod idi international in something light, small parallel twins and as much fuel as she'd suffer. 350-375 to the ground would be fun in a 3500lb truck.

Yeah! That's kinda what I was thinking, old schoolish hot rod but with a diesel. There was a 40's ih kb3 cab and chassis down the road from me that got me thinking, I thought ih/ih would be cool. Not sure if I could live with a real straight piped idi though, a kid in college had one with the banks headers and it was stupid loud. I thought maybe twins would quiet it down enough to be tolerable.In 2009 I had a 6.9 with a modified IP that would turn 4800rpm and it had some big injectors in it. I had a guy mill the top of the intake off and I used an old blower adapter that went on a single 4 barrel SBC intake. It was 3/4" thick aluminum. I had a guy tig the plate to the IDI intake and he added braces front and rear. I used a 671 weiand from a BBC and bolted it up. The same guy that milled the intake modified a blower drive pulley for me. I put it in a 27 T with zoomies. I sold the dang thing before I had it finished. It went to Texas and I haven't heard from him or seen it since. That thing was crazy loud. :hehe: When my old computer crashed I lost all of the pics of it. The most expensive part was the 671 but everything else was real cheap. I almost did another one to put in my 40 Ford but I have a 354 Hemi for it instead.
I wonder what ever happened to the guy that built the b series jake setup?

I want to "test" one. Please?I have been in touch with Wayne. Wayne owns "Thunder Brake" and I watched a video where they were looking for investors. When I first spoke with him, all I could do was offer investment monies. What I found out was they actually wanted someone to take the idea and market it. All they want to do is build them.
Over a year passed and I started this Stalnaker Racing Services deal. So, I contacted Wayne and asked for 20 units to fit 89-98.5 B series cummins. Wayne and I are working a deal out as we speak. They have changed up their design a bit and I am really impressed. I wont have a whole lot of trouble selling these things. lol
I will list a price when we settle up on what manufacturing cost are going to be. Of course, I'll have to test a few of them out first. LOL
