Cool project. I just received two 3D printed engines and the detail is amazing. I worked for Detroit for quite a few years and still have some service manuals if you need more pictures. This appears to be an 8V71 or 92. This engine is available in many of the older kits. Is there a possibility of adding a turbo and maybe make it a DDEC or electronic controlled? 
Next could be a Series 60 project.

Hi Randy! I am embarking on a similar project and would love any reference material you might be able to send my way! I'd be happy to send you a printed version as a way of saying thanks.

Let me know what your looking for and I’ll go through what I have. Probably should do this this on another thread or in private.

Very nice work! I've been working in CAD for about 2 years and haven't done an engine with that detail. Kudos!

Well done, love the idea that this is going in a Paymaster.  I believe there is one in the truck museum south of here.

Thanks, it is kind of funny, this CAD thing has exploded a bit on me. It started just over a year ago with tinkering for my own projects, and now my designs are being sold by one of the best 3D printers in the 3D printed model parts field. 

My W1000 cab has done really well and the I suspect the W9000/Blue Mule will also do well. I have done many engines and other parts too. 

It has taken over so much, I haven't  ad a lot of time for actual models.

Nice.
I have to tell you, I got a bunch of the Kenworth K100 Aerodyne dash panels you did a while ago and they look great.
