anyone here here reckon they can shoehorn this into the bronco....................................... :toothless :histerica

WTF is that

cool is what that is! ideas on fitting?

WTF is that

Whatever the f*$# it is I want it...

Seriously...looks like something out of a old tank or something....

KC

does the name magirus deutz ring any bells.................

its an air cooled diesel dump truck engine, currently on ebay uk for the teeny sum of £460

i will give you $500 for your bronco and $500 for that engine......we split shipping and i'll let you know how it goes. :deal

yet you anything it has the smallblock pattern already and is just a drop-in. i put one of those in my bicycle and use it to terrorize the harley riders in my neigborhood.

:lolup:lolup

Yep, I was about to say an air cooled Deutz... we've got a teeny one of those in one of our old rollers that's about to go to the scrap yard.

I figured it came off of something industrial use because of the air compressor on the side of it.

I don't think you'd have a lot of fun with all 18 of those horsies though... :rofl:

Torch and the jaws of life might be of assistance....Fog

I've seen a cheby truck with a turbine engine out of a helicopter powering it... I say where there's a will, there's a way.

Torch and the jaws of life might be of assistance....Fog i dunno,... sounds a little technical to me,... i was thinkin' more along the lines of positioning it in the engine bay, ... then maybe jump up and down on it till the hood closes!:toothless:histerica:beer:drinkbud

thats quite extreme!,.... i would have thought the chevy would start to " undress" itself if it tried to run one of those things,... blow all the panels of that is!:toothless:histerica:beer:drinkbud

Maybe not with 18 horses but he could more than make up for it with the 17000 ft.lbs. of torque it makes.:thumbup

It's gotta be British brake horsepower. 1 bhp is a hell of alot more than our current standard of rating hp.

both our cranes at work run those, good engines, but the ones we have arnt small by any means

Screw that thing, get one of these...

Is this guy still running his afterburning jet turbine on CA roads? Last I heard he was facing CA EPA issues and probably would not get renewal tags.

Apparently so according to his site. But I don't know.

Nah, IMO, there's way mo' better choices out there for small diesels then air cooled deutzs. They're not powerful by any stretch of the imagination, they just last forever.
