[edit] Factual accuracy
Someone who is extremely knowledgeable about the specific engine model numbers needs to verify this. I put the table together as best I could piece everything together from the sites I referenced and put in the See Also section, but a lot of data out there conflicts--specifically, the difference between the 16-710G3B and 16-710G3C engines and the T1 and T2 suffixes. I've also seen reference that the SD70MACs have a 16-710G3C-ES, 4000 HP engine, which contradicts what I've come up with in the table (namely that the G3Bs are 4000 HP and the G3Cs are 4300 HP). Needs an expert--maybe I'll tag the article with that template...

- T1 and T2 refer to the EPA's emissions regulations. B and C are fuel economy engines, and I would assume that C has better fuel economy, but I am not sure.
- Never mind, I see you mean the specification differences, not the meaning of the notations Dav2008 17:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- I just saw another reference to the 16-710G3C-ES, 4000 HP engine used in the SD70MAC (but not the SD70M). It's in a 2003-produced DVD issued by Trains Magazine on motive power. Still not sure how that fits into the specs table. It also makes a reference to the initial engine used in the convertible SD90MACs as the 16-710G3-ES with 4,300 HP. cluth 20:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Table and Info Upgrades
I cant say Im a expert, but I do have access to some EMD publications which I used to upgrade the table.
Dont have Max RPM for the 710G3C series or the V12's of any series, I know they are differnt then the G3B's 900 RPM but unfortunately dont have that info handy.
