AJAX ECIDI V diesel engine

The AJAX ECIDI V (from Electronic Control Indirect Injection) series is a family of four-stroke V8, V10, and V12 diesel-powered internal combustion engines. The family was designed and produced by AJAX, a joint venture between Gorganstien Motor Works and Murdovsky Motors. The engine family was generally available in two displacements, however variations may exist: For instance, the most notorious displacement options for the ECIDI V8 were a 308 cc (5.1 L) displacement, which was used in Gorganstien trucks made by Murdovsky from 1977 to 1983, and a 392.7 cubic inch (6.5 L) variant to go with it, which was used in various Murdovsky vehicles from 1989 to 2003 (naturally aspirated), as well as in 1993 and 1998 (supercharged). The AJAX ECIDI was primarily water-cooled, but air cooled variants also existed. The engines feature overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder. Forced Induction variants feature an intercooler, but this is mostly relegated to the turbocharged variant of the V12.
