Default What an engine

I work in a crossdock, and this bayboy came out of a trailer the other day...

What I know about it:
Its obviously a V12 twin turbo diesel 60 degree block.
It weighed exactly 8812 pounds on the scale including the stand its mounted on
Its going to CUMMINS engine corp, so its a Cummins
The steel tag on the side said 35 litres displacement if I remember right.
The little boost gauges went up to 100psi on the dial.

Im curious to know what this badboy powers... And what kind of power it makes.

Could be the powerplant from pretty much anything. Those v12's power generators & pumps on up to some of the large dump trucks used in mining.

I use to work for a company that dealt with alot of john deere motors that were close to that size... It kind of looks like the marine version of motor they make so maybe it came out of a large boat/ship?

Probably not a boat, we only ship in alberta, so if its on our dock, its going from alberta to alberta, no where near the ocean. Bad *** anyways, I would love to hear that thing running with straight pipes!!!

I would also love to see what would happen if I used a forklift to put it into a ford rangers truck box...
