[MamthTorq]

I would like to try and fit this in place of my 53 block. Might take a little grinding, but I'm sure it would turn heads! :--)

Hehehehe. 2700hp, 8000 ft/lbs torque. V-16, 60 liter.

A guy that i do business with has two of these sitting side by side. They are hooked up to a couple of generators. They are pretty awesome to see run. There is a turbo for every 4 cylinders.

Why such a small engine? How about the QSK78-L? 10157 lb-ft @ 1500 RPM, and 3500 hp @ 1900 RPM. 18 cylinders.



But, you know, if you think you'll be happy with the little 16-cylinder, that's alright too. :-laf

I think with a little firewall massaging, it would fit



Engine weighs just under 20k I believe.

You might have to get the heavy duty snowplow springs up front. :-laf

We have a freshly rebuilt and painted 78 sitting in our shop right now, but it's onan green



It was like a $150k overhaul!

 

[Will24]

and those are fuel filters, you can see the water drains at the bottoms of them

150K is cheap compared to buying new!

Talk about keeping your fuel clean! And the six turbos! Just for curiosity, what does one of those suckers run new? Does it beak half a million?

I'd want a plexiglass hood, fenders, and wheel well liners with one of those beauties under the hood!

On another site someone said that a C32 (about 1300hp) Caterpillar, was around $750,000 bare and around $1mil complete with radiator,intercooler and all piping and wires. That should give you an idea.
