My 250 mph run attempt with this Esprit engine

[busanostra]

I will try to transplant this to my V8. I will try to attempt a 250mph run at salt lake flat next spring.





The Problem is, one valve is bent and I can't find it!

I do believe that 8 litre lump belongs in a boat. Otherwise seating may be quite limited in an Esprit.

It's also a tad heavy at just under 800 lbs. Colin would most certainly not approve.

Don´t forget to strengthen your tranny !

The last ship I was on was a 5 cylinder turbo-Diesel. Don't remember all the specifics, but off the top of my head, redline was about 105 RPM and it did somewhere around 30,000 HP. I would do 0-20 in a few minutes. I think it was Sweedish, actually.
