As they say: “Everything is big in Texas! Poppycock”. Big Mike Harrah from Lake Havasu City, Arizona has a big treasure of cars, trucks, bikes, airplanes and helicopters.
On the question “Why” he build the 24 cylinder engine? V24 Supercharged engine? — Harrah answered: “Because I can.” This monster Detroit Diesel 24V71 (24 cylinder) engine weighs 1,000 pounds and mounts 8 superchargers (6-71) on top. Actually these are two V12 Detroits joined together (nose to nose) with splined cranks. It adds up to incredible 1,704 ci and that`s why it`s super cool. Well we wonder, what can you do with an engine this size? But, Harrah knew the answer, he put it in a custom built semi-truck. The semi-truck is a custom build 359 Peterbilt.
It has a massive 40 feet long chassis to hold the 24 cylinder engine and everything else together! We wonder though, what is the turning radius of this monster?!
