What in sam hell would that ever be used in?

 

[BlackBII]

A really really really big boat maybe?

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

Yeah, it would be for a ship.

 

[BigJohn76]

[Beanmachine7000]

Hmm... I wonder if you could fit that in a Ranger

That is a slow speed deisel used in ships. Its not that big actually. They come A LOT bigger.

Kinda looks like a 'gaints' kids toy. Probably meant for the Jolly Green gaint.

I would really hate to feed that monster. One crank rpm probably equals one tank full on the ranger for fuel to burn.

we're gonna need a larger hood and engine bay in order to make that fit in a Ranger. Heck, why start there, LETS SUPERSIZE THE WHOLE TRUCK.

Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.
