Yeah you're right, stuffed that one up!
Big mofo motor hey! A few years back I was lucky enough to get on board a massive container ship when it was docked in Melbourne. They took me right down to the engine room. The engine stood six flights of stairs, which they said was around a 5 storey building. From bottom to top of the motor. Absolutely amazing to see. They could even repair a damaged cylinder whilst the engine was still running. They just shut down each cylinder as needed... The heat and noise down in the lowest section in the engine room was awful, and they have mechanics down there for hours on end.
Imagine dragging that thing down to your favorite camp spot so you could power up a few lights!

This one is from a container ship and is a common-rail diesel with 1820 liters (111.000 c.i.) with 14 cylinders. A large enough engine requires a lot of diesel and eats 72 gallons per minute. It weighs 2,300 tons and measures 13.4 meters in height and 27.4 meters in length.
Slightly larger than the Nissan 3l CRD.

And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
You might need to move the second battery to the back if your planning on doing that!
