Pennsylvania ? And no rust? I’d really have to look up that truck’s family tree and inspect VERY carefully.

Definitely a sleeper

Tres’ kewl!

A lot of the torque limiting is done with the DBW throttle body. There’s a lot left on the table with a little tweaking, if you’re willing to explore the limits of the transmission.

Solar panels are NOT “free energy” either.. Silicon isn’t easy to melt and the nasty metals required don’t come out of the ground free and ready to go.

I’m far too cynical to want anything but stock. I should stop looking at Reddit’s Just Rolled Into the Shop.

That sounds wicked! Any pix?

Porsche had a 16-cylinder in the works before Can Am folded.

It was Studebaker Treated Petroleum, before Andy Granatelli bought it.

Some Detroit Diesels and Scania’s did use it in the 90's and of course the big aircraft recips way ,way back. As a South Florida boy, there was /is a junkyard that specializes in aviation scrap, and I saw those old R3350's and 4360's up close. There are quasi- compound things going on for UAV use, but most of it is…

Two foolish questions:

Tell us more about it!

Volvo did it in the 90's

Roger Penske needs to put a mount under her for Watkins Glen and Sonoma! She can pedal anything with fenders.

Eight cars is trivial at most Florida ports. Could also be a body shop VIN swap.

Having hand assembly for those engines makes perfect sense. Given the small number produced , they’re would be no way to amortize the cost of tooling required. Chevy has a program which permits buyers to build their own Corvette’s engines. From what I’ve seen , there’s so much fixturing and automated gaging that you…

The spark plugs are easier to get to on a swapped s13 than an F body, and the trans lines up perfectly.

We didn’t call then Rotsuns for nothing...

Now , if you charge the battery from a blowdown turbine stage, you’ve extracted extra work from the fuel. Quasi-compounding FTW

It’s not difficult. It gets difficult when you want to do it at the wage they want to offer.
