Here you go. 6 cylinder, 12 pistons. Yep thats what I said, and it is a multifuel AND it is military!

It sure does rev fast for a multi.

Looks a little too big for a deuce

It is a British tank engine

 

[uscgmatt]

That engine sounds sweet.

 

[A/C Cages]

Will that fit in my Hummer? lol

 

[papabear]

I want one!!!
Don't know what for...except the cool/wow factor is definately there

 

[Digger09]

PLenty crew cab projects, How about stretching the engine compartment to fit that monster engine. That thing sounds awesome.

 

[jetmech1983]

I imagine a rebuild might be tough. Looks and sounds awesome though.

I would like to know the HP at 1200 RPM or 1800 even, Could run a monster gen head.

 

[defbob]

won't have to worry about hurting a cylinder head.....

Crew cab, ****. Mid-engine, here we come! Engine/transmission in the back & a 600gal fuel pod under the hood.

Think anyone'd notice the remarkable lack of cargo capacity?

Cargo, shmargo! That would be one epic truck!!!

Looks like it's built similar to the old Fairbanks Morse opposed piston engines. They were a headache in the locomotives but were great for ships. They liked to run at a steady RPM.

It is from a British Chieftan Tank...750 HP!!!!!!!

Edit: Displacement 16.3 litres

Just show up with @50 gallons of fuel and the sweet 6x6 burnouts (while chained and pulling against 3 other anchor Dueces so you stay in view) would keep them from noticing the lack of cargo space.

 

[RedbeardTheZombieHunter]

Interesting concept! I agree it sounds awsome and I bet shoe-horning it into a deuce would be fun, I'm a welder/fabricator and I love a challenge!

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I'd like to see a drawing/sketch of the internals.... and squeezing 12 pistons into those 6 cylinders. Do they run opposed ? if so, 2 cranks? very interesting.

BTW: this Beetle Bailey comic was in today's newspaper.....
