Pretty wild eh?

I like how the pistons and rods are just kind of… hanging out.

Can you imagine the conversation the next day? You’d have to tell everybody: “Yeah, I threw a block” just to see the look of disbelief on people’s faces.

1. Sorry Mike, internet got ya on this one. Not a diesel--it's a turbo alcohol conversion. If you look closely at the pistons in the video, you'll see they have regular valve reliefs instead of a bowl. Besides, where's the smoke?? I don't see any Banks stickers on that tractor =)
