M1070e1

Hi was reading the Write up on the m1070F in the October/November 2016 supply line and in the write up it says there was a m1070e variant that had the Detroit series 60 engine in it.
has any one got one? Or come across one with the series 60 in it? If so what hp was the engine rated at and what other changes over the v8-92ta model thanks mark

M1070E1 was a development as a possible technology insertion program in the mid 90s but no orders were placed. Only the basic M1070 had the Detroit. Everything else went to CAT

I did a internet search when I read it in supply line and came up with the same its a one off but the Write up said early models had the v8-92ta and the later models m1070e1 the series 60 implying it is a in service model.
so the Write up is wrong and misleading!

Write them and ask for clarification.

Wow, could you cram a 8v92 into the bay?

Sorry I was so confused! I was thinking this was a 5-ton, not the big HET
