What's your favourite engine that can't be found in a car?
I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines.
I was recently talking to one of our freelancers about 1000bhp wood-chippers (as you do), and it got me wondering about other non-car things that have big-power engines. Then Brittany Ferries released a (frankly bizarre) press release boasting about how its ferries have four 12-cylinder engines making 65,000bhp, and I felt like I wanted to know more.
So, what are your suggestions for cool, big engines found outside the car world?

Scania V8 truck engines. Best sound in the world
Anything made by Lister!
thomas the vtec engine
I’d love a 36 piston, 18 cylinder Napier Deltic engine… An opposed piston engine with either superchargers or turbochargers… And a sound to give you the shivers! ;)
Rolls Royce Merlin V12. The sound of Winston Churchill, the white cliffs of dover, and freedom in the 1940’s
Scania R720 V8 👍🏼
This engine has been used in the dacia sandero for years but its just that its detuned quite a bit .
4.3L ZMZ-53 V8
The Rolls Royce Merlin, or the Napier Deltic ;)
The old school gmc 702ci twin six v12. Always wanted to get one of these and stuff it in the bed of an s10.
