I ran across this this morning. Thought the engine geeks here might like it. Kinda makes my avatar icon look a bit weak by comparison.

12 cylinders of brute diesel force.

Yup not much for high RPM, but the torque curve is pretty flat. Said to be the most effiecient of it's kind. Think you will need to beef up the suspenion and engine mount. Maybe stretch the engine compartment a wee bit.

That's funny. I belong to several car boards, and this resurfaces every six months or so.

Search the archives here. It has been posted at least once or twice before.

But it is so amazingly awesome, it is worth posting again for the new guys!

Maybe Jake Raby could go visit them and make one of his engine blow videos!!!
