DESCRIPTION The Perkins 6.3544 and T6.3544 are diesel engines
with six cylinders and fuel injection. The main difference between the two engines is that the T6.3544 is equipped with a turbocharger. The turbine in the turbocharger is driven directly by the the exhaust engine. The turbine in turn, drives the impeller. Rotation of the impeller pushes air into the inlet manifold. The turbocharger increases engine torque and horsepower. The serial number of the engine is on the auxiliary drive housing directly below the fuel injection pump.
