Nothing can power up a fireplace like unadulterated American muscle.
The V8 engine is undoubtedly the most fascinating part of automotive history. It’s also the most American. This declaration was made from the famed Muscle cars From the 1960s through the 1970s. It was a glorifying engine type, synonymous with pure unadulterated horsepower. This still holds true today. The fact is that the Ford Mustang GT still runs on a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 460 horses from its massive engine block. It’s pure American muscle that cranks everything up every time you press the accelerator. Every time I drove it, I was able to smile.
Imagine our excitement when we saw this Youtube video: A fireplace with a V8 engine. It’s amazing. Although I have seen the Porsche Flat-Six Espresso Machine, this one is more bizarre.
The V8 engine used in this video was not specified. It’s also difficult to guess which V8s were misused by the uploader. Another thing: the video was uploaded from Australia. This could mean that the engine came from Holden? We won’t know.
The V8 fireplace has a blower. This is quite fitting, as the increased force-inducted heat into the furnace increases the firepower. The video shows that the fire’s intensity increases with each blower opening. Cool, right? You shouldn’t be surprised that fireplaces work in the same way as internal combustion engines, but I assure you that there won’t be another fireplace with such a cool design.
