Cleveland, MS. Own small farm near Booneville, MS | Haven't read all the posts so I don't know all that has been said. I used to haul the cylinders for the GE locomotives out of Golden Casting in Columbus, IN to the GE plant in Erie, PA. The cylinders were cast individually rather than in a solid engine block. They put four cylinders on a pallet and about 20 pallets was a FULL load for a semi. I never did measure the bore and stroke on one of those things, but the cylinders were approximately 2 feet tall and the bore was at least 9 or 10 inches. Using six of those things for an engine in a semi would have put the steer axle overweight. |
