I'm just amazed that it could be hand cranked to start. I've recently worked on a 13.8 ltr engine and I could barely turn it over at a snails pace with a turning tool. From the looks of it I'd say it was pretty loud, too.

Wow! Really cool. And if my rough math is correct, that works out to 427ish cubic inches per cylinder.

Beast certainly seems the correct name for the vehicle.

Reminds me of this:

This one is long. Takes a long time to get this one to do ANYTHING.
Once it does do something, it does A LOT of it : )
Look at the rocker arms!

Special bonus:
BRUTUS.

Curtis' V8 bike with a rear wheel drag brake from the same vintage too.

I guess nothing is scary when compared with trench warfare.
