Mate of mine had an N reg 4000 8 wheel tipper with a 525 ■■■■■■■■ Was specail build at the factory cab sat higher. Was very similar to the New Zeland spec 8 wheelers.
So it is possible the one I saw had over 700bhp under the cab then??
In answer to the question, it was tall - at least as tall as my MegaSpace, so close to 4m tall. I dont know how tall it actually was, but the two vertical exhausts had scorched the top corners of cab.

Almost defiantly.
Most C18 applications are between 675 and 765 hp.
We regularly see them rated @ 1000 hp+ but that is generally for marine applications where they are only used at 100% load for short periods.
Still not bad out of a six pot donk though eh?
