Well, since I don't hang out at dieselstop, I am glad he posted it here. pretty interesting.

 

I prefer turbine engines commonly found on military vessels...

It's like having a BIG Jet engine, in your boat.

I tell you though- I'd prefer a twin-screw (minimum) over a single screw any day of the week, especially if I'd been crazy enough to become a submariner...

 

I think most of us here would agree with that.

 

Does anybody know if that engine will fit in a Ford F-150?

 

 

Why? What would it matter, you can't get one.
