Wow, that has the marine transmission and everything. Off to find a 35 foot offshore hull that would hold that without sinking! Too bad 100 octane leaded gas isn’t a thing anymore...
In high school auto shop we had a very similar Packard engine (surplus from a P-51) which the teachers used as a visual aid.
The engine shown was not based on the Rolls-Royce Merlin licensed engine built by Packard for use in the Mustang. Super cool engine none the less.
If it is the 5M-2500 version of this engine, it was rated 1850hp with blower, dual mags, 2 plugs per cyliner.
The 4M-2500 version had only 1200 hp.
"Only" 1,200 HP.

Ok now I am off to see if I can get a PT boat cheep.
In reply to dean1484 :
Theres only like 4 original Higgins PT boats left. Only PT 305 is all original with its 3 Packard engine. Sorry.
A replica would be awesome however.
Meh. A fellow once put 4 of em in a '30's Fiat. What's the big deal?
