In that case, if you ever get to see the inside the engine room of HMAS TOBRUK, go have a gander. Its got a couple of inline 8 cylinder engines driving her shafts. The cylinders are about 1-1.5m in diameter.

I would love to see the tacho 1-11, with a "X10" at the bottom lol

However I think the site is incorrect, the asian characters in the factory are Korean, not Japanese, and Korea does have a huge ship building port that pumps out around 100 tankers / liners a year....

For those who like hugely powerful big engines, check this out.

The spanish is a bit off but there is an american woman describing the engine in the video.

Another video but this is one where they show you how they build big commercial jets in 4 months condensed into a couple of minutes.

What about an XA GT witha 5,750 litre diesel?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1973-Ford-Fal...QQcmdZViewItem
Me thinks it's another SCAM. The buy it now for $10,200 sub title is a dead giveaway. When will they learn how to do a scam properly?
