    WOW

    His latest and ultimate creation, which took seven years and about $10 million to build down in Arizona, is just out of this world. Aptly called “Thor 24,” it is described as the “HOLY MOTHER OF METAL world-class monster big-rig, semi-truck ever built.” Yeah.

    From the article I found===="Harrah took a 1979 Peterbilt 359 semi which he custom-stretched and fitted with two 12-cylinder Detroit Diesel engines. The latter are connected nose-to-nose by a splined crankshaft and boosted by 12 superchargers, plus eight nitrous oxide bottles between the middle bank.

    The resulting 27.9-litre V24 stands eight feet tall and generates as much as 3,974 horsepower through an Allison HT740 transmission. Peak torque is not specified, however."

    You’ll easily be able to get that under an A body hood, but you may have to move some things back, like the drivers seat back about three counties or so.
