5.9 Crank in a 6.7 Block should do it

Yep.
I heard this Tyson fellow has never heard of the word CAN'T.
It will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
I think Copelands old catamaran project might have seen the expectations that Al expected out of it if Tyson would have finished it.
Good luck with it all.

motors will be a test / methanol on 100% of run time w select settings w huge tanks very cheap fuel get cooling / turbos can be cleaned polished w billet larger compressor wheels and or twins or compound turbos , trick is to lower back pressure much as possible = run correctly / ucc is NOT any kind of durability test , couple seconds on a dyno does not equal a monster cat boat / 14 or 15 to 1 compression / kid turbo may be in the know /

At the UCC event in Indy last month I witnessed several Cummins and Duramax engines making near or over 2000hp on the dyno. For about 2 seconds tops. The event started with about 30 trucks, and less than half those survived all 3 events which consisted of about 20 seconds total WOT time.... There in lies your biggest problem.
These small cubic inch engines that are making huge numbers are either solid billet blocks or concrete filled cast, meaning no water passages. So while that might be perfect for a shootout setup, not gonna get more than a couple minutes run time. One of the top 5 competitors has the exact same stroker engine my friend tried in a boat. That one made it 4hrs on the water, the last 40 seconds were at wide open.
Couple people at Indy mentioned to me someone is looking for a pr of 1200hp diesels for a boat. Couldn't imagine who? lol. I said try one on a engine dyno at that power level for a hour, and please invite me to watch. Only problem now is finding someone to drop a 100k on that experiment. :-)
