Went to Seattle a couple of weeks ago to work on a manufacturing problem for my company. While there, there was an engine waiting to be mated up with our equipment.

It's a Big F'ing Engine. Thought you might like to see it.
The balding coot in front is me.

Feh... THIS is a big engine.

Yours would be fun to play with though.

Can I mount two wheels and a pair of handlebars on it? Can I? Can I?

It's waiting for a pair of wings. The wings weren't done yet.

Feh... THIS is a big engine.

5.6 million lb/ft torque? Sounds good. Fuel economy doesn't. "Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour."

A real man wouldn't be worried about fuel consumption!

In the '80s, they trucked in these monster natural gas ICEs to run some pumps to control flooding. Three 3,500 hp natural gas engines.

Read a news article that said that the greenhouse gasses emitted by the world's ships exceeded that of the world's aircraft.

thought for a second that was harleys new water cooled motor but it can't be, no oil leaks and it's not overheating.
