That's cool! :cool:
first thing i thought of when i saw the picture is that they bought the molds/tooling for the V16 that KATECH did for a caddy prototype back in 2003....

That is sweet

several yeas ago someone develeoped one for a marine use, I cant remember the name but I sue would like one.

Is it Bravo friendly ? :fear::lolhit:

I remember the Falconer v-12: http://www.falconerengines.com/falco...2.php?v12=main

Made a few magazines, and I think a new boat or too.

Been a long time, there may have been another company that tried to make one more mainstream too.

Oh yeah! i forgot about those...they were the Torque V-12's.....heres a pic i have of them in a boat:

Just take it easy out of the hole, should be fine:eek:

stand it up on end and call it an outboard

Think it was "Torque" Engineering as stated above.

want to say either John Cosker or David Callan

of "Mystic" ended up with the tooling. wonder

what became of the engine platform ?

Pretty awesome stuff!

What is it about this engine that allows 2400ft-lbs of torque on 93 Octane from 753 cu in.? Is it just 'leaned-on" that hard? I thought a 750" BBC on 93 would struggle to make half of that?

Do 2 V8's bolted together count?

That would not be friendly to any drive out there period

Turbos

Sounds about right. predicted -- 753CID x 1.30tq/CID = 979hp x 20 pounds boost (14.7+20 / 14.7) = 2310 tq
That is a very stout well built designed motor.

So what drive can hold it? Arneson?
How about a pair of them in a 40' cat or V

Yup, 20 psi from a combined 4 turbos, and don't forget twice the # of power events per crank revolution (8 for a 16 cyl vs 4 for a 8cyl) and since a clean sheet build the heads probably have very shallow valve angles, raised runners, small + effecient combustion chambers, etc,etc,etc.

I'm sure this engine cost a ton of $$$$ and countless hrs of designing and building.

Pretty awesome achievement, even if nothing happens from here.

All of the Torque stuff is in Georgia now. A buddy of mine bought everything after they shut the program down.

Thanks for the info. Do you think the engine will ever be reborn? Seemed like a really neat well balanced and sized power plant. Was it just the economy at the time and not enough purchasers.

I hear there are some other new designed V16's in the works that will actually be affordable, all of this is cool stuff!

Definitely cool design, and incredible power, but how physically big is this monster?

Isnt a better route the Sonnys 1000 cubic inch engine?

They can get them north of 2500 reliably and are basically the same platform as any other big block (sort of, but closer than a V16)

I'm not sure what his plans are with the Torque stuff. He was working with Brad Smith on a few ideas before we lost Brad.

Yep. Recall a pair of those sitting at Brad's shop.
