Will MTU Series 60's fit in a 10 meter? The 350hp ones, not the 800hp ones.

Huh ? a MTU ( Detroit ) 60 series ? not a chance at any HP rating Their pretty big and heavy .

I would guess about 2x what a Cummins 6B would weight as their about twice the displacement . 11-14L

You should not confuse the MTU 60 series and the FPT N60 that we were talking about , the MTU is slightly more engine.

The MTU 60 series 350 hp is 3593 lbs and the FPT N60 is 1312 lbs . the MTU displaces 14L and the FTP displaces 5.9L This without gear on both .
