It didn't immediately fill the room with black smoke. It's not powerful enough. My Cummins could take it. ROLL COAL!

Since when do you have a cummins? What did you get?

I saw this in Hot Rod Magazine. The guy owns a small truck line and they basically drew it out on a huge whiteboard, then built it in house. Being a 2 stroke Detroit, it sounds like it is turning twice as fast as it really is. Pretty bad ass.

The plan is to build a Peterbilt around the motor, he has ordered 40ft. X 4x8 tubing for the frame.

Jay Leno has one similar to it I think it was built by the Blastoline (sp?) Brothers that built his tank car. I love the fuel tank on the back!

I'll see your diesel and raise you 14,200rpm ( BMW S1000RR cutaway running )

Kinda cool to watch how slow the valve springs and retainers rotate at 14K rpm.

I wish. It was sarcasm. 3k hp and no smoke. I like it. Gale Banks always said "Smoke is wasted power."

Figured it was sarcasm, but thought you may have been serious about actually having a diesel.

There are pics somewhere of the engine in the chassis already.


wait, maybe just a mock-up:

another edit:

might have 3k hp but it's about as practical as a hammering finishing nails with a 12# sledge.

 

[Your Hot Dog Guy!]

Yeah but it will be cool!

While it does look evil, something tells me it will be worthless for anything other than the "WOW"-factor?
With that much HP/torque, getting it to hook up for pulling or even straight line drags could be a nightmare... unless they're fitting some super-single "slicks", maybe even 8 of them on the rear?
