Depends on the year/weight of the Newell. You won't find any 1990 or newer (Series 2000) Newells with a 6V92. Most of the widebody Newells (started in 1986 had the 8V92. Prior to the widebody, you will find 6V92s, Cat 3208 and Cummins 903 until you get back into the 70's where you will find Cimmins 555 Cat 1106 and the 391 Ford Industrial. I happen to like the 8V92. If you maintain them, run 40 wt, CF-2 oil and DON'T OVERHEAT them. They are a fine engine.
