The Detroit Diesel Series 149 is a series of large two-stroke diesel engines first announced in early 1966, with V8, V12, V16 and V20 versions. The 149 is the displacement of each cylinder in cubic inches, from a square 5.75 inch bore and stroke. The first versions were naturally aspirated 12V and 16V engines of about 600 and 1,000 horsepower, and turbocharging and intercooling later raised the output, up to a 20V149 rated near 2,500 horsepower and designed mainly for haul trucks. The engine also generated electricity aboard Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates. Detroit Diesel was spun off from General Motors in 1988, and production of the Series 149 ended in the late 1990s.
