Barely noticed there was an engine in the second pic...:masturboy:

 

 

From the article:

According to Gavin, the engine is designed to be flexible enough to use in pleasure boating at around 1,400 horsepower for up 400 hours between scheduled maintenance, or it could be turborcharged with a pair of 122mm turbos (10 pounds of boost) to make 2,400 horsepower for about 200 hours for poker runs and other spirited adventures. Both those power numbers are on 87 octane fuel. Jumping up to 25 pounds of boost on race gas could elevate the power levels beyond 3,600 horsepower. And 50 pounds of boost could result in over 5,000 horsepower. For steady state running, recommended rpm will be in the 8,500 to 9,000 range. But an all-out drag version could spin up to 14,000 rpm.

 

Dayam. :eek:

Those exhaust manifolds look cool and match the intake, but I am sure they are leaving a lot power on the table.

 

Looks like its a marine application with a water jacket. Building a water cooled "log" manifold is much easier and cheaper than an equal length water cooled setup.
