I went to class on the new C-7 and C-9 and there was a couple at the truck shop in houston when we were there. And we looked at it on Cats website and found the specs for it. We believe its a full cat engine. it isnt of perkins design.

I got to see the C-175 run while in Peoria for school. Had it on a load bank... pulled about 6,000 hp at the flywheel at 1200RPM.

OK, done some digging around and even talked to our salesman... 6.6L cat is a perkapillar... and it does have a common rail fuel system. Cat recently bought up controlling interest in Perkins, and ever since that happened the quality on the little engines has been better.

If anyone saw the Power Wagon that was on the show circuit several years ago - it was Cat powered.

Good thing for us Cummins lovers is that the 6.7 already meets tier 4 requirements.
