So for all the gear heads in here, which I think includes everyone, take a look at this Diesel engine. This has nothing to do with an SRT-4 but I thought you might get a kick out looking at this.

do you know where i can buy one cheap???with some mods I might be able to fit it.

 

I was thinking that too,,,stretch the front end out a little, beef up the suspension,,,,,hmmmmmmmm

 

yeah....after the install I might be able to keep up with those damn mustangs and riced out hondas.Sure would love to beat one some day!!

 

looks like a power plant for a ship that my company used to build. Alstom, they built the Queen Mary 2, and since got out of the shipyards. Looks like alot of fun getting that up and running. They would have to cut a big hole in the side of the ship to swap it out if there were problems and it needed replaced.

 

I wonder how much that thing costs??? 5 million???

 

That's almost as big as my ol 440.

 

Impressive for it's size, but not it's power. A nuclear powered engine that's smaller will produce billions of horsepower.

 

yea but i don't think that container ships use nucleur motors, at least not yet. as far as i know, they're still on gas powered ones. while nucleur ones are more efficient and last longer, they're a LOT more expensive and there's that whole pesky radiation thing.

 

There are tons of legal tape when it comes to anything involving nuclear power. The cost is far greater initially, but far less over the long term. There are several Navy aircraft carriers and subs running on nuclear power without creating glow in the dark soldiers.......at least so far.
