If you like two stroke diesels, here is one to look at. Probably need a heavier driveline in a bus to handle the 5,608,312 foot lbs of torque! Vibration should not be a problem though, it develops that torque at the breakneck speed of 102 rpm! http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsshb/12cyl/ | ||

Wow, Big Don. I'd seen the exterior, but not the internals before. I used to work for a place that made what I thought was huge Marine Gearing, but nothing that would hook up to this. BTW, I'm glad you're posting again these days now that you've graduated to real boots.  | ||

Wow what an engine, I guess if someone were to build a coach "large enough" to use one of these babys it would be a real "land yacht" huh? Busted Knuckle | ||

Do you reckon it would take more than 2-8D's? Ed. | ||

Saw one of these going into a big super container ship on Discovery, I believe. Really awesome. Richard | ||

Yeah, I ran one of those in a 4104 I bought from Trailways years ago. Great power, just a little bit thirsty. I had three 13 speed trannies hooked up in line to maximize the low torque curve. It could really pull I tell ya. My first trip I went up the Grapevine in 39th at Eleven RPM, at about 155 mph. One time I went to one of those motorcycle hill climbs in North Carolina and just for a joke entered it in the Unlimited Class. (Weight was a consideration) I pulled the hill with no trouble. But I mean Literally Pulled the Hill. Everybody got PO’d because they had to cancel the race. I was shooting rooster tails for 4 miles, and took out a couple of low flying Cessnas. I finally ended up selling it to some Greek guy who hauled fuel, but that's another story. Yeah, those were good times. pat Young fresno | ||
