Michael, I agree that Newell would certainly try to furnish the engine if they could buy it and if it fit in the coach. I couldn't find the size or engine dimensions either but I did note that the DD16 had 2050 ft./lbs. of torque compaired to 1850 for the ISX 600 HP (I couldn't find specs for the 650 HP ISX). This of course is all academic as I'm only looking at used Newell's that I can afford and will be delighted with a series 60. However, it is nice to stay abrest of what is new with the company that we are all so fond of.
I do wonder why Newell didn't go with the DD16 when they wanted to increase HP above that available from the series 60. Perhaps they knew that Daimler was going to stop selling outside of the Daimler/MB family. As you can tell I'm a big Detroit Diesel fan.
