What you are about to see in the following video clip that we have prepared for you today, is a great demonstration and a proof that when a man sets his mind on something, backed up with the proper knowledge and a will of steel, there is not much that he cannot accomplish. Just like this engine builder from Great Britain, known as Desperate Dan, who had a built a real monster of a straight eight motor …
We had seen all kinds of home made motors. Whether it is some Diesel beast that is boosting so much horse and torque power that seems like it is about to take off to the stratosphere, or it is a classic American V8 muscle, but with numerous customized additions, and so on. Now, amongst all those monsters, we have another one that is coming from the UK, a straight eight motor and it really looks as mean as hell!
This interesting eight-cylinder power plant was built by a fusion of two NSU engines, and a GMC supercharger plopped on the top. According to Desperate Dan, it took him over 6 months to finish it, in which many times he wanted to smash it in pieces, but he endured this creative ordeal and finally come up with something on which he is proud.
The way he says, it started up from a very first try, and the only thing that bothers him is that it is not loud enough!? So check out the video, see it and listen to it yourself, and then tell us what you think about it.
