Cool engine pic
This puts things into a little perspective
the "small piston/rod is from a 283 Chevy V8, a ancient reletive of the 350
The other is from a Diesel Electric Train engine with a 24x36" Bore/stroke
350,000 ft/lbs of torque !

I use the exjaust valve for one of those Diesel Electic Train motors as my door stop. Thing is about 5" in diameter, 2' long, and wieghs 10-15 lbs! It's sitting next to my size 12 shoe in the pic.

I know this is a repost, but that train piston is nothing compared to this:
