Missed the start of this thread, but when I was in Ft. Lewis eons ago, we
came across a parking lot full of Soviet junk used for OPFOR training. They
had a couple of tanks (can't recall the types, sorry), a BRDM and a
BTR-60PK.
I got to crawl all through the BTR-60 without interference, and I remember
being surprised to see engines which looked very similar to the Dodge T-249
in my M37. In fact, I seem to recall that the ignition system had been
retrofitted by the Army with the usual Delco 24V stuff from an M37 as well,
but my memory might be lapsing after ten-twelve years.
