I know we are getting off the thread now, although still slightly military in topic, because I think the British Army did have a few Foden 6 wheeler transport lorries with the FD6 in. The engine is of similar design to a 6-71 in that it has exhaust valves in the head and a supercharger forcing air into ports at the bottom of the cylinders. The only obvious difference is that Fodens used a conventional F.I. pump where GM had separate pumps for each cylinder, as Cummins.
