Gonna be cruisin your car to Japan, Hawaii, or Europe? That is a ship engine, so I guess you could call your car a ship? Lots of power though. I wouldnt want to pay for the fuel to run that thing. Each tank would cost you as much as another teener.

So......... uhhhhhhhh

What kinda springs are you gonna run in the teener? Just curious

actually, jakes motors kick its ass in hp/litre. That thing makes barely over 4 hp/litre.

In torque however, it kicks ass. 220 lb/ft per litre.

Now that would spin the wheels.

NEEDS A TURBO!!

Posted by: synthesisdv Nov 23 2004, 09:35 AM

It is turbocharged, most marine diesels are.

I don't recall exactly, but I think I read somewhere the average tanker will use 6 gallons of fuel to move it 12 inches accross the water. That may not be right, but I remember it was gallons per foot traveled. Either way, a staggering amount of fuel to use.

I actually overhauled these monsters in the 80's,
3 foot bore and two foot stroke made in the 30's.
supercharger was run by a 150 hp electric motor.

Since this feels like another crazy swap thread I think a big
custom 4 in this version would be nice!
