Look at THIS beast!!!
Boredom has me looking at diesel engines on Ebay.
Now, if I had any clue on what I could do with these, it looks like someone could make a steal of a deal with no reserve, and an idea of what they could do to turn a profit. Not mine, but I wish they were!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42908&item=3867361035&rd=1 |

Although I think the engines in that auction are too big to fit in anything short of an Imperial Star Destroyer.

Damn, wish I had a use for those.
Have been looking for a one lunger diesel to use in workshops and classes to start and run on biodiesel. Anyone have any ideas, I'm all ears. Would be nice to find an IDI 4 stroke as that's principally what we're teaching, but anything in a small diesel would do. And NO, I couldn't fit these into a classroom to use as "demo" engines! Besides, they'd probably turn my engine stand over

There are a number of Indian and Chinese made one lungers that fit the bill for you. Take a look at this: Stationary Diesel and the other items for sale by the same seller for examples. Also see Utter Power Kevin

Forget about using a stationary diesel to power a vehicle. For every one horsepower (925hp) that those engines on Ebay produce, they have about 65 pounds of weight. That's like having a 617 turbo that weighs 8,000 pounds!
