I wonder if they could make a 4-wheeled vechicle with that in it, and drift it? I kid, I kid...

Seriously though, you have to admit the engineering of that is phenomional. I can only imagine the explosion in each cylinder...

wow that amazing. Ive seen videos of battleships being built and hving leage pistons and other stuff put in, but this is 2 - 3 times bigger than that. I wonder how much oil it takes to keep that thing lubercated. And i wouldnt want to be the person that had to change the oil

cool link

Wow, and I thought working with 32L V-12's for Caterpillar was big!

It's not even OHC :P I wonder how big a turbo for that would be and how much boost it would have/need

Technically speaking, the NASA Apollo program Saturn V's engines were the most powerfull engines ever built. Making the equivalent of 36 million horsepower each (160,000,000 hp total), the five F-1 engines (their model designation) on the primary stage required 50,000hp, or half the power of the diesel engine above, just to drive the fuel pumps.

my house can fit inside that engine
