Wow! That thing is cool! A bit loud I would think.

 

One cylinder displaces as much as a 455 Olds.

Think about that for a second.

 

Search "Beast of Turin Pistons" in Google images, amazing!

 

before mufflers were invented, evidently.

That's craymazing

 

Nice. People say the 70's was the time of muscle cars, but honestly, 2 seat roadsters from the early days of automobiles... well they were really small cars with HUGE engines. NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!!

 

You wouldn't want any kind of gas leak.More fire than a boy scout camp out...Tedd

 

Watch them actually drive this car here:

 

Perfect Earth Day vehicle

 

Damn.

 

"We don't need no stinkin' Catalytic Convertor!"

 

Big but slow xD cool car

 

Finally an awesome sounding 4 cyl. That thing moves pretty good and the flames are insane.

 

Here is another interesting ride with a 42 liter Packard PT boat engine:

 

I don't buy the global warming hogwash but I think a lot of things they are doing is a good thing. In our large cities the smog is affecting peoples health. Then if you look around at all the traffic on the roads today it boggles the mind that they are able to make enough gasoline to fill them all. Sooner or later the oil is going to run out and if they don't have an alternative available we are all going to be in trouble. I think when they are able to make an electric car that the batteries are reasonable in price I will consider buying one. Most of the time we don't drive beyond the range of what the batteries are now. They will get better at it. At least if the car is electric they won't have all the emission control junk that is screwing up the cars now.

 

Do you realize you are posting on a thread that is over 4 years old? I fail to see that your post has anything to do with this thread.

 

I watched the video and noticed that Pat had posted it years ago. RIP Pat.

When I watched the video I couldn't help but think... Fix It Again Tony.

 

Rewatched it again. I just noticed it was chain drive! That Packard sounds amazing as well.

 

Big Block...that's not a big block(knife)...this is a big block(knife).

Big IC engine is where I cut my teeth for years. Bigger the better I say! OK yes, stationary engines.
42 liters thats 2563 cubic inches in a mobile application! 28.4 is no slouch either.

I've had my hands on the tiny 36-48 liters and on up to the AT and GL series Waukeshas. That's up to18,000 C.I. (or 285L) That and all other medium-sized NG IC and Large diesels...Cat 35 & 36 series, Detroit 16V149s. thats 149 CI per each of the 16 cylinders. Some were merely pony motors to start large Gas Turbine Power Plants.
I say medium duty as compared to the Locomotive and container ship engines. I've seen a few GE, White Superiors, Fairbanks and Wärtsilä-Sulzers in person but never wrenched on the beasts. That's big stuff.
