A 915 could handle that. No problem!
 That's ridiculous torque. HP is also crazy considering the low rpms. |

Hmm. . . piston squirters are used in "high-performance auto engines. . ."
Hey, he's talking about US! (Sorry, pre-71 guys!)

That's some serious HP, but it's some really mind-blowing torque! Hurricane force!

This seems like an awfully precise number I'm surprised they don't just round it to 5.6m lb/ft

Considering a modern container ship can carry 5500 containers, that is only 19.8 hp per container. Imagine your garden tractor hauling a 20,000lb shipping container 4000 miles in 14 days..

There was a special on these big boys on the Discovery Channel the other night. They were assembling one of these massive engines. It's not quite like setting the heads in place on your little Porker, neither -- massive cranes slowly lowering this huge piece of metal into place. Turns out they set it down like 3 inches off and had to figure out how to swing it back into place. Crazy!
