It would be interesting to see what it sounds like at full throttle.

It sounds great for sure! What a brute. Did you see the double prop?

Tom did you see where the props rotate in opposite directions? One write up I read said running four at 6400 rpm uses 209 gph.

They only $77k

Wonder how hard it would be to fit one of these in an E320?

There is a guy that put the M120 into a 190. The Merc might actually be physically smaller, with all the cowling restrictions they have.

What is the displacement of the marine v 12?

I just looked and it is 7.6 liters....650 hp IIRC.

Using a gang of these would make it easier to do repairs....having trouble, just unbolt it and put in another.
