I am no expert, but I can tell you that is a General Electric V16 Diesel and if I remember correctly puts out around 4500 Horsepower. Some other interesting figures I can remember are. . . Just the block casting alone comes in at 16,000lbs+ and is machined down to a trim 13,900lbs+. The whole 16 cyl. engine comes in around 40,000+lbs
