I'm sorry but the title and thumbnail are clickbait. The thumbnail shows a massive engine, and yet most of these are pretty tiny. And I never did find the clip of video in the thumbnail which is the one I wanted to see. Try this, do a search on "some of the biggest engines in the world" and see what comes up. Then pick a new thumbnail and title for this video.
The Mercruiser is the best sounding engine by far, but nearly 4000 h.p.? No way. It would have to run massive nitromethane with a shit-ton of boost to get anywhere near that. This one wasn't.
Since WW-2, beach landing vehicles known as LVT for Landing Vehicle Tracked. They had a marine version of a radial engine because the navy had the aircraft spares and mechanics to keep them running. Many Sherman tanks were built with radial engines also.
You lost me when you claimed a mercruiser V8 was producing over 3,000 hp. Plus at that point I had yet to see a "large" engine. I should have know when the 7 cylinder radial engine was listed as a "marine engine".
I watched the entire video to see the engine shown in the thumbnail and it wasn’t there. I did enjoy the video but because you successfully clickbaited me I will watch no more of your videos.
It's a water-cooled marine engine. In a boat, it would pull cooling water directly from the body of water that the boat is traveling through and then blow it out the exhaust, but mounted on a stand like that, he hooked up his garden hose.
daem, i swear to god, ive replaced every engine cover and tuned every aspect of the marine engine on the thumbnail, its a hunk of a machine, tightening the crankshaft bearings is a nightmare tho depending on how tightly its built into the sorrounding machinery...
These engines are internal combustion, heavy polluters and gutless. A friend of mine , Ted Prichard of Melbourne Aust., designed and built a steam unit [external combustion] over fifty years ago. It was and still is the lowest emission engine in the world. I could be excused for believing vehicle builders could not meet these standards, still can't, and governments changed the goal posts to appease them. Put a steamer back to back with a diesel and see who wins. I can tell you. Vote steam.
Every time I watch one of these I feel the climate getting slightly warmer. I mean seriously have any of you people ever heard of a catalytic converter!

Good points well put..
This channel is always click bait
We thank you for the warning
Still good content. Stop crying
@@todds.wheatley1278 Someone likes click bait. Go away with your BS, clown.
Once again you show something on the video thumb that’s not in the video. This bait and switch earns you a thumbs down.
More click bait where’s the engine in the picture !!!!
I thumb down clickbait thumbnails.
Click bait, hope Karl and Karen move next door to you.🥳
the print across the top of the screen is stupid and detracting from the actual content
Clickbait..... the engine shown on the opening picture wasn't shown..
Clickbait and bought comments lol.

🤣
I agree... only way that motor would make that kind of horsepower is to run it on distilled bullshit
could have done without the headers..
Reported as Clickbait.
Clickbait video......
No way the Mercruiser has 3851 PSHP, 385 maybe/possibly more like it. (yes I've seen similar comments below)
And not 1 big engine started up on this program!
Did I read 3851 propshaft horsepower (2:04)?? That no way legit for a normally aspirated engine 454 in² !
2:13 I think they forgot they're supposed to burn fuel
Weres the big engines.
Clickbait.
Clickbait....
A Mercruiser 454 making 3851HP? I'll have some of what ever y'all are smoking.
Simply clickbait :-(
that 7 cylinder radial, the second guy in, has the weakest support structure. Geez, what is that half inch rod?
Big Engines Starting Up,,, tractors dont have big engines.
0:42 Since when have they used air-cooled radial engines crammed into the enclosed engine bays of boats??
Since WW-2, beach landing vehicles known as LVT for Landing Vehicle Tracked. They had a marine version of a radial engine because the navy had the aircraft spares and mechanics to keep them running. Many Sherman tanks were built with radial engines also.
OK that mercruiser has 330 hp not 3500. Dumb
CLICKBAIT-THUMBNAIL NOT IN VIDEO.
A Mercursier 454 producing 3850HP? Not a snowflakes chance. Not surprised though, it is just clickbait.
I think that was a mistake. It is 385 HP.
That 454 mercruiser sounds amazing
Yes, it sounds amazing, but not 3,851 HP amazing. I doubt that very much.
@@savagemako17 385 more likely
Chev V6 Marine Version.
Nah, it doesn't... It sounds like an old John Deere tractor.
Thumb is clickbait. Be honest. Negative.
I'm exited
Agreed. The search term you're looking for is 'cathedral engines', and they are almost exclusively ship engines.
You lost me when you claimed a mercruiser V8 was producing over 3,000 hp. Plus at that point I had yet to see a "large" engine. I should have know when the 7 cylinder radial engine was listed as a "marine engine".
Imagine making a huge torque converter using airliner turbines as the pump and stator and I forgot the turbine it self 😂
The guy starting the red engine at 1 minute in this video is….the best.
So, where were the BIG engines?
I watched the entire video to see the engine shown in the thumbnail and it wasn’t there. I did enjoy the video but because you successfully clickbaited me I will watch no more of your videos.
I'm excited
No big engines there!
Clickbait. Dislike
Makes me think of the scene from "Das Boot" where they start up the sub's engine
The guy at the start gassing himself, Jesus! Actually most people gassing themselves! lol
See at 2x
Спасибо за видео!!!
Кайф...👍👍👍🙏
Does the Bristol Hercules have to run on 100 octain fuel?
Powerful engine
That jet dragster would be an awesome rig for deterring tailgaters, lol. 😅😅
Great video!
(1:53) Does anybody notice fluid coming out of the Mercruiser's exhaust?
Engine from boat, this os cooling water
It's a water-cooled marine engine. In a boat, it would pull cooling water directly from the body of water that the boat is traveling through and then blow it out the exhaust, but mounted on a stand like that, he hooked up his garden hose.
Trick advertising! Never showed the big engine on trailer!
Liar
Ford Flathead : not a startup.
Please pay attention
imagine the young today trying to start these if it don't start in 2 seconds they would be off
I don't need no stinkin hearing protection! Wait....What?
2:20 why is there fuel dumping out of the exhaust?
Jet dragster stats up like a jet airplane
1:33 Typical ford.. Doesn't run good...
Like a junior high science project
The Mercruiser has my heart!
daem, i swear to god, ive replaced every engine cover and tuned every aspect of the marine engine on the thumbnail, its a hunk of a machine, tightening the crankshaft bearings is a nightmare tho depending on how tightly its built into the sorrounding machinery...
The smoke is toxic
3:50 Wow that Offenhauser. What sort of vehicles were they used in.
Early indy cars
@@cmsracing 30-40's American cars. Look for CORD.
Very good

Ok boomer, I suppose you think we should stop using modern medicine and return to bloodletting or something.
