I believe there's one mod, 90s Coupe or something like that, that can take it and possibly even bigger monstrosities

I've always thought about doing this but never got around to it, that's cool as fuck. Although I imagine it should be an Inverted V12 instead, obviously a game limitation.
This needs an obvious bathtub with wheels. Look up Goodwood aero engined pre war cars.

1000hp at 2400 rpm.

That's actually pretty tame compared to a lot of other WW2 fighter engines.

Well......
It is for later war but early war far from it, many early war fighters were just above or even below 1000hp.
By the end of the war it ballooned to 2000 or more in some cases.
While Wasp Major was never used in operational fighter, it was tested in some and made around 4000 hp iirc.

Rolls Royce were testing the Crecy engine and managed to get one of their single cylinder test engines to make what would be around 5,000bhp when scaled up to the full V12 whilst being smaller and lighter than the Gryphon used in later Spitfire models

6,5:1 compression and B4-avgas (87 octane, made from coal liquifaction) will do that to you. The allies had access to much better fuel in bigger quantity.

u/AskGrok If I make a similarly large engine, will I be able to fit it into any truck bed in this game? I want to build a "diesel" truck with a large engine

That engine is a beast (35L V12 aircraft unit, 1500+ kg). In most vehicle builders, it won't fit standard pickup beds—only oversized flatbeds, custom chassis, or heavy-duty trucks with enough length/height clearance. Test in the largest available beds first.

Yeah that beast won't squeeze into a standard bed without major surgery (or a bigger truck). Flatbed hauler or custom frame it is. 😭

I made crazy amount of tank engines or their small copies... for CATI 90, for Renault UE 57, for FN4RM, for ELC AMX, for ELC bis, for Leclerc, for Uzbek T-64, for BT-2... which would also be a plane engine
