Engines!

http://www.waukeshaengine.com/ - 16 cylinders, 285 Liters, 4500 HP @ 1000 RPM!! And it runs on Windows™! :eek:

Too funny... :hehe:

Anyway, I had stumbled onto that site looking for the engines they used to do Octane testing. Here's the link for that if anyone's interested in what they look like. http://www.waukeshaengine.com/index.cfm/go/list-products/productline/CFR-F1-F2-Octane-Category/ By the way, they're about $200,000 if you should decide to pick one up!

Enjoy.

Now if I could find some way to graft one of those 16 cylinder engines into my wife's Torino, I wouldn't have to work with that boat-anchor Cleveland......


I did some reading on the octane test engine a little while back. I also read about a production car engine that worked in a similar manner....I think it was a SAAB.

Cool stuff.
