This thing has nearly 600 lb ft of torque. Enough to pull three 747s and a scyscraper down simultaneously.

That’s almost as much torque as a Bentley Brooklands!

Actually, not quite.

630 ft/lb at 1600 rpm! That’s barely off idle.

It’s a shame that there aren’t more of the Jimmy Six and Twin Six rigs out there. Neat engines.

Mmmm. Two big block V6s shoved together. I’ve been wanting an old truck for a while with one of the huge V6s, they’re so strange and cool.

There was even a 478ci V6

I owned a 65 GMC with a 305 V6 for a very brief time. By very brief I mean I bought it for $350 off eBay from someone outside of Chicago and sold it in a gas station parking lot east of Indianapolis when a guy offered me $1500 for it on my drive back to Ohio.
