Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | Re: Le Mans tclynes - 6/23/2006 8:48 AM i read up on that on a design website the other day. it is an awsome thing. 'The cylinder bore is 38 inches and the stroke is just over 98 inches. Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 litres) and produces 7780 horsepower' Tom I think youll find your hp figure quoted is kw, the hp is 108,920 | ||

You can pick out the injectors and the feed pipes to them on top of the head. each one looks the size of a 300 GD engine. Which brings me to the point I was trying to make. Diesel engines tend to be a lot heavier. Edited by roughneck 6/28/2006 4:03 PM | ||
