Re: Cool! Craigslist find.
Some time ago I found a web site on them, don't know if I saved it. But most were used for irrigation pump engines, fire trucks, and other similar non-highway uses. They make a bunch of torque but redline was like 2500 RPM which killed the interest for me. Google will turn up a bunch of info. The Thunder V12 site gives a good tutorial on what to look for and what it will cost to get one running ($25-30K).
