What attracted me to it was that the air intake (or exhaust) on the
turbocharger was taped with duct tape. So, I thought, someone cared
about it enough to tape it. The auction said "detroit diesel series
350 power unit". But the auctioneer does not always know what he is
describing, for example the rotary table and a separate backplate in
one lot, was described as "lathe chuck".

So... Anyone has seen this sort of thing before?

That looks like a number 1231.

Ok...sorry.

I can't see enough detail to tell, but it's about the size of a 6V51

(if so, and it's not too worn out, that's a good motor)

Lloyd on another note DD did build a 51 series for a short time in the early fifties. I think they were for the railroads, but
they are very rare.
