I would say the mechanic who works on 'European Maid' needs to sell his/her tools and move on to something less techinical.

The 1st vid I posted was from 2008. This vid is from 2009.

The "Dragonfire" Tractors engine is a Zvezda russian marine radial diesel converted to alcohol and spark ignition! I did some searching/reading on it and build pics, pretty amazing! Its better that they used somthing more avalible like Zvezdas than use rare engines like Pratt&Whitney 26cyl R-4360 Wasp Majors. European pullers like aircraft engines, especially V-12's and radials. Very cool but should be in plane restos! (Im a plane buff)

Zvezda also had a 112 cylinder monster! Its 2 of there 56cyl's joined
Featuring specs: 16 rows with 7 banks of cylinders, bore of 160 mm (6.3 in), stroke of 170 mm (6.7 in), and total displacement of 392 liters (23,931 in³). The engine produced 10,000 hp at 2,000 rpm

Tractor pullers from accross the pond forgot more about the sport then most pullers in the US will ever know!

Considering these Superstock tractor guys are pushing boost in the 150-200psi range, one stuck/malfunctioning waste gate usually leads to carnage like this. Or sometimes the stress of making 2500+ hp on a block designed to hold 120hp causes them to fail as well!

that MF Duramax sounds sweet.
