You can get blown 540's without a worry and make a lazy 1000hp :)

But yes, engineers in Vic have not been signing off on large V8's into light cars for a number of years, hardly surprising.

I'll see your 540 and raise you another 32 cubic inches :)

That's 9.4 litres in newspeak. And in blown / chassis twisting form:

But that's just crate engines...custom and stroked out garner nearly limitless possibilities. The worlds fastest street legal vehicle was at some point a Calibra fitted with IIRC a 10.5 litre Chev big block V8.

Same bloke just wow'ed 'em at summernats with his latest creation based on the same sized engine, but this one is from a tank

(the chev had a P51 Mustang aeroplane engine in it, and when you consider that aeroplane engines run in the opposite direction to every other internal combustion engine, it makes the engineering of that thing all the more impressive IMO)

BTW - 1650ci? thats 27 litres in the new speak kiddies :P

Although my personal favourite "monster" engine is actually a 4cyl...

Built for the 1912 Benz 82/200 it had a displacemnt of 21.5 litres!!! That is 5.375 litres PER CYLINDER!!! :P

      I agree re not trusting it as it makes mistakes however can do hours of research for you at times by simply asking a question

      The I've done a lot of research and feel like I'm becoming a nut and washer expert. The washer in question doesn’t look very conical—it’s almost flat, but one side has a chamfer. The guide's picture shows the convex side (chamfered side) facing the nut, but the text says the chamfer should face the pulley, which is confusing. If I follow the picture, the chamfer faces the nut, but the instructions say the opposite. When I place the washer on a flat surface, one side looks flatter—maybe that's the concave side—so I would expect the chamfer to be on that side. But it isn’t, which adds to the confusion. The term chamfer is also throwing me off. I always thought the concave side should face the pulley, and the convex side (with the chamfer) should face the nut or bolt head. But Nissan’s instructions say the chamfer should face the pulley, which seems backward. I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I want to be sure I’m doing it right. Also, I’ve seen some people replace the nut and stud with a bolt, but I assume that’s not a good idea, since it might not keep proper tension on the tensioner. Lastly, just to be 100% sure: the pressure washer should face the pulley, then the conical washer? That feels strange, since usually the pressure washer goes first, facing the bolt or nut.

      I checked, i dont think it was the indicator stalk. The problem just magically fixed itself though.

      H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
