Might have to ugrade the 700r4 to run that

Jacfourteen · 11-30-2010, 05:10 PM

That's insane! That guy has some guts to stand next to the main blower belt when that thing is running full boost, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it if it blew!

Jacfourteen · 11-30-2010, 05:11 PM

Anyone know what the displacement of that beast is?

legendary · 11-30-2010, 05:18 PM

w.o.w.

chuckmc8 · 11-30-2010, 05:21 PM

24 cyls x 71 CI each = 1704 cubes

If I remove my dash and windsheild surely it will fit in my 67..........

ChevLoRay · 11-30-2010, 09:05 PM

I got 40-ft of school bus that would do nicely.....wouldn't have to haul so many kids, but we could get "there" faster.....

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-30-2010, 09:22 PM

Man that's awesome! He has almost $42,000 just in superchargers! I'd love to see that in a mod tractor and pulling in the Outlaw series.

tonypaul · 12-01-2010, 12:32 AM

I would like to put that engine in my motorhome. I could use it to tow my drag car to the track and leave the drag car on the trailer. Then I could run a 10 second pass in my motorhome...

VA72C10 · 12-01-2010, 01:32 AM

can't wait to see the truck run with it.

Detroit Baby

Dark Knight · 12-02-2010, 11:43 PM

It's a Detroit. It'll be smoking or coughing up oil in notime. I've got a co-worker that once told me, "if it ain't smoking or leaking, then there's something wrong with it."

We've got an old dump truck on the farm with a Detroit and it leaves a cloud of smoke about 1/2 mile long. When you park it, it leaves enough oil to fill up a big block. Seriously though, that thing is an engineering marvel. The 9th wonder of the world!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-03-2010, 02:05 AM

I'm sure there are more one off custom built pieces in that engine than most would imagine. I'm sure the cylinder pressures are pretty crazy with 3 871's feeding each set of 8 cylinders. Normally these 2 strokes just use the blower for starting since they can not suck or draft air in on their own.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-03-2010, 11:34 AM

Wow man I wanna see what he is planning on putting that in peterbuilt wise..

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-03-2010, 03:57 PM

I've never heard of a V24 in a heavy duty road tractor. The biggest I've ever heard of were V-12's. Mainly Cats but a few Detroits V-12s as well. I'm guessing if this were to go in a semi, it will be extremely long.

MrDude_1 · 12-03-2010, 04:29 PM

heh, read about the guy in the video... http://www.hawaiibusiness.com/Hawaii...y-of-Big-Mike/

pretty cool.

Very interesting.
