Anyone seen this in person? Too bad it looks like its mounted to the platform and not drive-able.

 

hmmm....

11 tonnes (let approximate, at 22,000 lbs - I forget exactly what a tonne is)

10,000 lb/ft or torque (thank God that wasn't nm/mt)

so that works out to 2.2 lb per lb/ft of torque at the crank...

i've 2,350 lbs, and let's say 160 lb/ft of torque, for about 14.7 lb per lb/ft

should be pretty quick off the line then (but mebbe a little hard on the tires)

thanks for the post.

 

Nah, They're just taking that engine home in their special pick up truck!

Very Cool. But where is the transmission?

 

I just wanna put some big-*** American iron in a new MINI with rwd.

 

this ought to amuse you then...

I did get to see this in person, it si NOT drivable. It is a special platform that is holding the engine up...but pretty cool to see what a little imagination can do!

 

and what appears to be alot of cash!
