They were incredible engines if you could tolerate the noise. The sawmill down the road from where I grew up had a 453 running it too. We had crane trucks at work that 8v71's, the guys claimed the only way to drive them was slam the door on your fingers when you walked up to the truck to get yourself in the right mind set.
Up till I quit the oilfield 90 percent of the service rigs used Jimmy's. Probably the only diesel that could tough the work. Wide open with a heavy load as you pulled the pipe, then instant idle while the connection was made and the blocks dropped, then over and over and over.
