    General Motors' 6-71N inline 6-cylinder marine engine debuted in 1938 producing 130 horsepower while weighing only 2,740 pounds including its transmission. The 6-71N proved itself during World War 2, powering various military vehicles and equipment. While called "naturally aspirated", the 6-71N and later two-cycle engines from GM and Detroit Diesel actually included one or two superchargers. An 8-cylinder V-configuration version, the 8v71N, was introduced in 1957 offering 335 horsepower at 3,800 pounds with its transmission.

    6-71N (1938): 130hp, 2,215 pounds without transmission Above: 8v71 N (1957): 335hp, 3,130 pounds without transmission General Motors 6-71N (inline 6-cylinder design, displacing 71 cubic inches per cylinder) debuted at the New York boat show in 1938 producing a then-remarkable 130 horsepower from 2,740 pounds including a marine transmission. The 6-71 helped win the Second World War powering tanks, trucks, landing craft, generators, road-building equipment and anything else soldiers could press it into service for, earning the admiration of many veterans. While the model designator N refers to natural aspiration, two-cycle General Motors and later Detroit Diesel engines in fact included one or two superchargers to force fresh air into the cylinders. In 1957, an 8-cylinder V-configuration was built. The first 8v71N marine engine (pictured here) offering in 1962 provided 335 horsepower and weighed 3,800 pounds with its

    transmission. In 1965, GM spun off the Detroit Diesel Engine Division.
