I hate to continued hijacking your thread VortecZ

the 16v 4.5's came along with the new 6.7's the cummins lineup. Unfortunately they are longer than the traditional 4bt due to the timing gear and injection pump being positioned to the rear of the motor. Good luck finding much information on the 4.5's other than the cummins website. I have also hear of there being an ISB based 16v 3.9 as well. Both the 16v 3.9/4.5's were found in the new Fedex and UPS trucks made by Workhorse until the recently changed engine manufacturers. From what I have read the Homeland Security Act mandates that all private shipping trucks be destroyed at the end of their use, that's why I never see them for sale.....unless you buy a Fedex Ground franchise including the route and the trucks.

Of course there are always the industrial applications that the 4.5 are used in as well as purchasing one direct from cummins.
