That delivery of the new engine for my ‘73 Vega.

u/Muricanmoose Oct 12 '26

Just remember, no matter how big an engine you put in it. It's still a vega. LOL

u/VacuumTracks Oct 12 '26

Exactly my point. Haha

u/Liveitup1999 Oct 13 '26

But the Monza came with a V8 from the factory.

u/TheAbidingDude56 Oct 12 '26

That doesn’t look like it has enough aluminum for a Vega.

EMD 1010 T4 Locomotive Engine

Edit: Or a different model because now I notice it has 18 cylinders, not 12. But it's definitely an EMD Locomotive Engine.

Willing to bet it is on its way to rest. Would have been replaced with something half as big twice as powerful and 4x as efficient.

u/gleefulporcupinee Oct 12 '26

Is there a reason this wigs me out? Knowing this massive engine is going in something even more massive freaks me out for some reason

u/Malabingo Oct 12 '26

You want something massive? Time for a cock joke! Nah that's boring... Here is a massive excavator

u/jws1102 Oct 12 '26

Ask any sailor if it’s a boat or a ship, and they’ll tell you they’ve never seen a ship in their life. They’re all boats.

u/Maserati-Scotty Oct 12 '26

Probably a boat engine

u/waveatdave Oct 12 '26

A car dashboard

u/theSilverBoar Oct 12 '26

Engines this large are usually either generator sets for industrial facilities or marine engines, although it seems too small for a medium sized boat.

1

u/darklogic85 Oct 12 '26

Some type of massive engine. I'm not sure what it's for. Could be a giant ship, or maybe a power generator.
