A company by the name of Sixteen Power presented a crazed LS-based V16 engine for boats at the 2019 SEMA Show last month and after receiving interest from hot-rodders wanting the powertrain for road use, has transformed the V16 into something that could soon make for the most epic of engine swaps.

In order to make the V16 suitable for a car, the company has deleted the water-cooled headers and heat exchangers while converting the front accessory drive for automotive use. For the most part, though, the engine remains unchanged and continues to displace 14 liters and will be available in a number of guises, Muscle Cars and Trucks reports.

V16 Power: It’s Not Dead Yet; Devel Sixteen Engine Delivers 5,000 HP On Dyno

Sitting at the base of the range will be a naturally aspirated variant pumping out 900 hp, but 1,200 hp and 1,400 naturally-aspirated versions will also be offered. Those looking for more power will have the option of purchasing a twin-supercharged 14-liter V16 with 1,600 hp or a quad-turbocharged one with a massive 2,200 hp.

While a large boat has more than enough room to house such a monstrous engine, fitting it into a car could prove to be a much greater challenge. In fact, it’s hard to think of any front-engined cars that would have room for a 14-liter V16 without some serious modifications. As Autoblog points out, one possible solution would be for hot-rodders interested in this engine to actually mount it centrally within a car.

Prices for the marine version of the engine are expected to set buyers back $100,000, and it remains to be seen how expensive the car versions will be.
