When you see what goes in these as an engine, that starts to sounds good.
"The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each
cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version."
No, those figures are right. A cylinder bore over three feet in diameter and eight foot long with a 18,000 LITRE engine (thats 18,000,000cc) for the 10 cylinder version.

So..... it wouldn't fit in a landy then...? Not even a 101...?

We went on a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska in Sept.
MS Zuiderdam,80,000 tons or thereabouts.
6 engines used 57,000 gallons of diesel a day when cruising!!
Glad it was'nt on my credit card!!!
