World's biggest engine

I wonder what a tune up would cost on this little jewel.

And I thought My Ford Fairmont Straight Six 4.0l was big. It could be used as a starter motor for that beast.

WOW!! Now that is most impressive. Makes you wonder about a few things....like....

1. The noise level.

2. Where on earth would they find a crane or some kind of moving equipment to get that onto and into a ship.

3. Wonder if that would fit in my wee little Mazda Lantis?
