Couldn't resist posting these pics....

Might have to alter the engine compartment and cradle slightly.

Sulzer 12RT-A96C, 12cyl. produces 89,640hp @ 100RPM, consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour. Oh and by the way, get a real heavy duty engine stand, it weighs a slight 2000 tons.

If this one is too big, it also come in 6 and 10 cyl. versions.

Check these pics:

Didn't somebody post those links a few months ago? I know I have seen them somewhere before.

Those engines were mentioned on the Discovery Channel. I believe they were being used in the new generation mega container/cargo ships.

Some of the shots of "normal" looking engine parts make the workers look like little Lillputians working on a normal-sized engine. Made me giggle...

Looks a little low on power. Do they offer it in a turbo version too?

I know if I could just find some way to hook up 6 wheels to it it would make a hell of an RV that would COMMAND respect.
