Waking up the Sleeping Beast: Badass Detroit 8v71 Runs For the First Time After Four Decades

Pulled out of a GMC Astro cabover truck, the badass engine you're going to see in the video below this page is filmed running for the first time after sitting for four decades.

The truck that this engine was attached was parked at some place, then the company went out of business and never turned back to pick this truck up, so the engine stayed out of action for forty year until pulled it out and turn it back to live again. This excellent engine sounds awesome even after all those years.

Scroll down to check out the video below, hear this engine in action and enjoy!
