She roared to life alright! Seamed to be cleaning up nice just in the 40 seconds of video.

Now in my opinion, you need a nice old Hull to drop it in!~ <.<

[incapabledub]

clever bastards putting all the fuel pumps and shit in the cambax. Black as fuck!

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

correct me if i am wrong......are these type of engines used in large boats and vessels?, never saw that big of an engine

[qotsaandsoadfan1]

@SpiritsoftheWolf This is small by marine standards.

look for the Wartsila Sulzer RT96-C produces over 81K Kw

[AldoBr549]

Bet she passes emission standards to!

[SMGJohn]

Noisy as shit

[ShelbyGT500TT]

chuck norris's pocket bike engine. hahahaha

[davida1hiwaaynet]

Sounds good, especially considering it's age and the fact that its restoration is still a work in progress.

[whorayful]

Love the 'blue rope'. My first boss once told me, 'never start an engine you don't know how to stop', simple words that have saved me a few times. Nice engine still sounds solid after near 80 years.

[McMahon1985]

If you reckon that's good then have a look at a vid of 37901, class 37 powered by a mirlees blackstone putting out 1800hp!!!

@McMahon1985

old engines seem more interesting to me.

especially 1st diesel locos, like the ingersol rand loco of 1919 or there abouts, only 300hp I think, driver sat next to engine!

[ericsfoss]

Ssssmokin!

[Roadster1940]

Brilliant considering that this Mirrlees Bickerton & Day engine was manufactured in 1939
