Two 5.3's, & a 100mm Turbo...
First off, I like the bazaar. More outlandish the better.
I got this idea from watching tractor pulls for decades, so bare with me. I have a few 5.3's laying around & I have a friend that has a 100mm turbo laying around, enough for 1200HP+.
The idea's to take two 5.3's & join them front to back, essentially making a 10.6L, V-16. That should make about 600HP. Slap on the 100mm & run 16PSI on E85.
Bam! 1200HP for dirt cheap.
I have a decent handle on how to join them(tractor pulls remember), but...
What to put it in?

I thought about an Astro-van.
What I'm thinking in an automotive application is, because the thing would be a torque monster, is link the engine, through a properly stalled converter, directly to the rear diff.
Have it idle @750 & have the converter come on at 1100-1200RPM, & rise from there.

Think, Cheap. I'm talking JY. Truck manifolds & all. Stock cam, heads, intake, etc.
That's why the airboat struck me. Very little perifferals & I have uncles into air boating & both are intrigued to try it.

Yeah, awesome times we live in, right?
I think it's great we have such better engineered engines to play with. I just like the V-16 concept... Same power but low RPM Efficient. Also, I figure I could have it up and running for a couple grand.

If I wanted to do AWD, in my mindly-ventures into Wild-Dom. But I would say actual AWD viscous coupling. A simple coupling tourque converter would make it way more compact.
