I like the HP numbers. omg

It would make me consider dumping my Cummins and shoehorning that into my Dodge. ;)

Big oil burners are great. I was a sales rep. for Crothers Cat. in eastern Ontario in the 80's. until 91. We sold a stand buy unit to a water plant (can't remember the model) that ran during peak hydro hours. Need more HP you just ordered another cylinder. The engine came in on a 60 ton low boy float. It runs on a dry sump oil system so no oil pan. 7ft tall from the base of the engine to the top of the rocker boxes and 30ft long. High idle is 900 rpm with 1 gallon injector shots if I remember right. The block had access doors so a machanic could get inside the block.
Crothers repowered a freighter at about the same time. The ship had 2 engines and 3 stand alone gen sets powered by Detroits. They added an extra cylinder to each new engine and ran the gen set off them getting rid of 2 Detroits but keeping the 3rd stand alone for back-up.
