@@danielnelson4881 that's technically not true, this is not the first project car utilising a tank engine. But I've never seen anyone trying to perform such a swap on relatively modern car.

Pretty sure a cooperate 14 bolt slightly modified be enough. Some people in the "Mid west street crew use them and the range from 2500-4000 hp.. But i honestly dont know what would be better
It's amazing that you were able to even fit the engine on the chassis let alone in a car. Although it would be similar in concept of building an aircraft around the big gatling gun on the A-10 warthog. If a front clip of a car was bolted around the engine. It would look like the big engine was somehow shoehorned in. Great job.

Thank you very much 😀👍
Excellent engineering! Perfectly executed 👍🏽👌🏽👍🏽 Respect to all of you!
Thank you very much, we really do appreciate that! 😁
The only vehicle that can rival the fuel economy of an ‘86 454 K30
👍😁
That torque is going to be monstrous!
It will!! 😀
Close to 4000lbft or 5400NM. Absolutely massive
Awesome project. Did you ever take any decibel noise level reading? Like how loud is it really?
Thank you very much. No we haven't done that, but that is a really good idea! :-D
This is absolute madness! And I mean that in the best possible way. Bravo!
Thank you very much 😀
CONGRATULATIONS GUYS! youve worked so hard and now youve got a beast of a panther body. Youll go down in history as the largest displacement engine ever put into a panther body..👍👍👍
Thank you very much, we really do appreciate all the feedback and support from all our followers! 😀
What a beast. Y'all are crazy in the best ways! At least I know my project isn't TOO ambitious. 😂
Thank you very much 😀
Great job I was worried the stock front end wouldn't fit! Hood might not close, however.
Thank you very much! Yes, the hood will be custom made in carbon fibre 😀
@@TheMeteorInterceptor hood? You mean the 3” wide frame for that art piece!
I guess we'll see if that transmission will handle 1,450 lb-ft of torque
That transmission better have a billet pan and a billet dipstick.
1970 Nm for anyone that doesnt use freedom units
I don't think it needs one. :p
We are using a dragracing prepped TH400, so it should work out fine 😁
@Need for Sleep. Meteors made approximately 1450lb/ft stock. You need to think 4,000 plus if using 3000rpm.
This thing is just freaking cool. I hope that Trans is bullet proof, it's got a big job to do. Great job guys! 👍
Thank you very much, we really do appreciate that! 😀👍
"Oh yeah, she'll fit bro, trust me bro"
Don't miss our new video that is out now! 😃👍
Welcome to Sweden.
😁
You know this is the business when everyone has to wear ear protection. Congratulations to all involved.
Thank you very much! :-D
This car will give a new definition to the term "understeer"!
😂
As someone whose first car, and dream car, is the crown vic. This is by far the coolest crown vic.
Thank you very much! 😀
@@TheMeteorInterceptor I hope it goes as smooth as possible!
I’m drooling over this thing! Instant sub!!! Cheers from the the States 🇺🇸
Thank you very much! 😀
This is an insane build!! I love it!!!!
Thank you very much! Make sure to subscribe to our TH-cam channel so that you can see our updates! :-D
The full spec military humv will have more comfortable interior when it's done than this!!! At what point will you add the wings!! And 6 brownings? ?
It’s not about comfort
@@br1xh my sarcasm has fallen on deaf ears:)
Fucx the comfort sometimes the desire to have overrules the intellect :) peace brother!! I share the enthusiasm here:)
You are absolutely right, this will not be very comfy! 😁
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Guy in his shed: "I need mo powaa, gonna put one of them v12s in my land boat."
😀
This is nuts guys, just stumbled across this build. I'm gonna watch the rest of the video on it now. Good work
Thank you very much, we really do appreciate that. Make sure to subscribe for new videos 😀
@@TheMeteorInterceptor just did
my god. you guys are crazy. That is absolutely fanastic!
Thank you very much! 😀
I could see some stone deaf Warboy screaming WITNESS ME as he rips across the wasteland in this
We just posted a new video yesterday! 😃👍
This my friends puts a whole new meaning on the idea of there's no replacement for displacement!!!!
Exactly 😀
@@TheMeteorInterceptor For this engine, you will need a starter just to start fuel pump!
Sweet sound!!
Thank you very much! :-)
That is insane.... If something is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.
And this monster is DEFINITELY OVERDONE !!!!!
SO AWESOME 🤘🤘
Thank you very much, we really do appreciate that! :-)
That's a dang beast. Sweet. Much respect for the engineering aspect as well.
Thank you very much! 😀
