mssl72 - that thing is awesome...what in hell is the application? I was filling in the order form until I noticed the crank alone weighs 300 tons...200 I could deal with but 300 is a bit much!

I *believe* a lot of the Detroit diesels were 2-stroke, as well as super &amp; turbo-charged!

That thing is pretty crazy. As the article stated it's an engine for container ships. I thought I would replace the L72 in my Caprice with the inline 6 cylinder that they make. I'm just not sure how to bolt it up to my Muncie M20 or where to put my seat.
