Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Wonder what the power to weight ratio is:::

Not all that impressive when you consider that a top of the line modern sportsbike develops around 800-900 hp/ton including the bike itself (figure 160-170hp from something that only weighs 400 lbs)

.. but then I guess diesels are more about torque anyway (and that thing makes 5.6 MILLION lb-ft of torque!!).

(those engines are apparently referred to as "cathedrals" for good reason)

I bet that starter motor has more torque than most vehicles.

JC whitney has a kit for this particular engine swap into a Wrangler. I think I'm going to order it once I get my tax returns back.

I wonder if Advance Adapters has a kit to bolt that to an AX-15. Or do you think I should go automatic and match it to an old TH400
