It has an engine that looks like Detroit 6-71 with a turbo.

I've worked on a LOT of 6V51s and 12V71s in 'Nam.

They're real workhorse engines. Even today, some modern custom-built
tour busses and other vehicles of their ilk carry the same motors.

Right. They are awesome if you do not mind the noise, some lesser fuel
efficiency, but like simplicity and reliability.

YOu may find the blower bad (at least its bearings), but you'll almost
certainly find a home for the motor. Probably much more likely to than
if sold as part of the genset.

OK, so we agree.

One question, though... 'turbocharger' or 'supercharger'? Most of the
older ones came stock with top-mounted mechanically-driven blowers
(superchargers). Being a 2-stroke, pressure-aspirated motor, I'm not
sure it would even start without at least a supercharger, even if it had
a turbo, as well.

Lloyd, it has a green roots blower on the side, you can see it. It
ALSO has a turbo on top (you can also see it). You can press the
magnification icons near the photo to magnify it.
