We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

It was actually two 6 cylinders made into one, hence the twin 6 name. 4 cylinder heads.
Needs to learn how to spell distributor. |

Yeah, they made the block casting and crankshaft as one piece rather than two. But still bolted 2 pairs of heads each side.

Found some info:
GMC produced a large gasoline-burning V12 from 1960 to 1965 for trucks, the "Twin-Six"; it was basically GMC's large-capacity truck 351 V6, doubled, with four rocker covers and four exhaust manifolds.[6] Fifty-six major parts are interchangeable between the Twin-Six and all other GMC V6 engines to provide greater parts availability and standardization. Its engine displacement was 702 cu in (11.50 L), and while power was not too impressive at 250 hp (190 kW), torque was 585 lb·ft (793 N·m). For firetrucks the rev limiter was increased to produce 299 hp (223 kW) at 3000 rpm and torque was increased to 630 lb·ft (850 N·m) at 1600-1900 rpm. It was possibly the last gasoline engine used in heavy trucks in the U.S. Quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V12_engine

Meh, the 385 series is the REAL big block. One motor, 8 cylinders of of GM-crushing power.
(Hey, this is a FORD forum, nothing wrong with favouritism) |
