Cool, but I think that the reason there are no action shots ( at least showing up on my 'puter at work) is that it won't work. That engine alone weighs somewhere near 1,300#. The dynamics are way off, if nothing else.

That doesn't show up here :-(. A drag car would be about the only option.

That thing is WICKED! I don't recall seeing that thing in the diesel tech magazine I got that had an article about the NHRDA Diesel Nationals last year though. I wonder if they made it?

They really need to get a longer exhaust hose when they're doing dyno runs! That was hysterical! Half of the black smoke went back into the garage.

Thanks for posting that link tjkj2002!
