The Detroit Diesel Series 92 is a two-stroke cycle, V-block diesel engine made in versions from six to sixteen cylinders, of which the 6V92 and 8V92 were the most popular. It was introduced in 1974 as a rebored Series 71, with the same 5 inch stroke and a larger bore that gives about 92 cubic inches per cylinder. Power ratings ran from 253 to 950 horsepower. In the 1980s and early 1990s it was a major bus engine in North America and it also served in trucks, motor homes, fire apparatus, construction equipment and marine uses. The Series 92 left the market in the summer of 1995, replaced by the four-stroke Series 60.
