good old technology. Works even after a nuclear blast.

So your basicly saying that 99% of the marine engines are oversized and can be made much smaller...
-
@tyb678 Actually there is one thing I want to point out...That is that this engine operates at 600rpms....Of course it won't have any trouble last for years...ANY engine will operate at 600rpms and last for years. I am pretty sure this engine would self destruct though if tried to run at 3,000 to 5,000RPMS like a smaller car engine, Its just the nature of its design.

@tyb678 Chill out I'm not trying to start a pissing match with anyone. Just pointing an intresting fact out.

@tyb678 Never did I claim that my 5.0L had more torque, and yes I know that torque is what makes an engine go round. I wasn't trying to say that my 5.0L could rip this old 3cyl diesel, the only thing I was trying to point out was how far technology has advanced, This engine weighs 8-tons and only makes 100hp...My 5.0L might weigh around 500 or 600lbs and makes 360hp. A moden diesel in a tractor trailer might weight 1,500lbs or so and they make 500hp and 1500+ lb/ft of torque.

@MercuryMorrison1 It's not the HP, its the TORQUE that gives it power. this engine would destroy your truck without a second thought. If you Ford 5.0L tried to power a generator at peak power, 24/7 it would be dead in days. This engine ran for years, no problem.
You can't beat old iron, period.

Amazing. This engine is the size of my truck 2011 F-150 5.0L. Yet the 5.0L in my F-150 makes almost 4 times as much power. How the times have changed...Cool engine though none the less.

Only problem in this video is that the sound comes only from left channel.

The camera is nearly as old as the engine and mono. Forgot to copy the audio channel when creating the vid.
New videos of all the museum engines in a month or so now we have a better camera.
