i read up on that on a design website the other day. it is an awsome thing.

'The cylinder bore is 38 inches and the stroke is just over 98 inches. Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 litres) and produces 7780 horsepower'

the figure i gave was per cylinder, if you multiply it by the 14 you get 108,920.

That 's just amazing. I remember seeing an italian sport car back in the 80s on a mag having a V16 engine, can't remember what the car was, similar to the Lambo Countach in design

You can pick out the injectors and the feed pipes to them on top of the head. each one looks the size of a 300 GD engine.
Which brings me to the point I was trying to make. Diesel engines tend to be a lot heavier.
