Haha those pictures are classic corey. Ive never felt more out of place in my life than that night in that bar

 

Isnt that the engine in the first pic? but looks like u gotta fun job J playing those big toys...

 

Thats funny, because you knew every song in that place! lmao there were a bunch of honkies in that place. Y'all needed to know what Texas is all about. lol

 

Who taught him to ride the bull like that?

 

Your tellin me. I have lived in texas all my life and i have never listened to country music much less been to a country bar. I was miserable.

 

No that's the turbo. The cylinders are oh, about 36" in diameter. I'll post up one of the pistons later. The engine itself is about (guessing) 90' long and 3 or 4 levels deep. The propshaft is an easy 36" diameter.

Love the pics Corey!

 

God bless america, and i thought the v16 10" piston train engines ive seen were big, thats crazy stuff man

 

Here's a view of the top of the engine.



If you look at the far right you'll see they're replacing a piston onto a connecting rod (look at it on the hoist). The rod is about 20' or so in length and is positioned vertical down through the deck.

 

I know the feeling, I don't dig Country music or the whole rodeo + country bar type atmosphere... We have to deal with the people though, it is Texas after all



bet the boat gets awesome gas mileage... also probably puts out crazy power too

 

There's three of them actually, one for every 3 cylinders. You can see the three DownPipe's in the picture that you posted of the engine viewed from up high. I would think the DP's are 36" in diameter each.

Couple barrels' per mile give or take a gallon. HP is 4x,xxx but the torque is 1,000,000.
