No!
it will have two supercharged V8's.

Dad's cousin in Wisconsin built a pull tractor with two v8s in series. He decided that was totally inadequate and bought a V12 out of a PT boat for a tractor build. I remember being really impressed when I saw it back in the mid '70s, as I was just old enough to be getting interested in cars. The thing was a monster. Totally useless for actual farm work, of course, but cool as all get out. Probably Bob's grandson is an engineer at FCA. ;)

Did he live around Union Grove? I may have seen that tractor.

This just in, the Raptor will continue to exist. I can't tell you my sources but they are very good sources. Incredible sources, some of the best sources. Please believe me, I have good sources.

Thanks
I see what you did there
