A rare 8V53T, (factory turbo), Detroit making some noise.
I was standing about 20' from it holding the camera, and wishing I had two more arms so I could stick my fingers in my ears, painfully loud...

First pull with 61 ford F350 in the "street legal diesel" class 7-20-07. first try I had to high a gear, second try I dropped a gear. Final pull was 205'. Video quality is really poor, and pieced together from 3 clips, gives a good idea though.

I changed out the older vane type Ingersoll Rand 150BMP starter for a new Turbine type 150T starter (the left one in the first picture). It fits just the same, although I made a new end housing to allow for a cleaner connection to the 1.25" air line. Sounds different, and a little quieter than the old starter (right one in the first picture).

Video duration: 18 seconds

First time with the air starter in 1948 Chevy 2 ton truck I am building. Air tank volume is 62 gallons, initial pressure was about 95 psi, relay valve closed when pressure dropped to 30 psi, total of 10 seconds of cranking time. I was not trying to start the engine, only test starter and check for fuel and oil leaks, as engine had not been run before in this truck.
