it sounds very cool and how much hp dos it have

[subbass32]

700 @ 200 ( two hundred ) rpm. See the notes for more info.

BTW it takes over 18,300 lb/ft of torque to generate 700 horsepower at 200 rpm! That is about the same as a 3200 hp eninge turning at a more modern 900 rpm or so. These old engines are in fact very powerful!

Thank you, sorry the video isnt better. This isnt the sort of engine you encounter everyday. Big, heavy and beautiful and you can literally hear each cylinder fire!
