I'm not greedy... I'll take the 6cyl version. After some slight modification to my chasis I'll have a converter made to bolt up to my tranny.

Anyone know a good machinist?

Hey, LOOK AT ME!!!! I'm standing in an exhaust port!


HATE to get in the compressor of the turbo on that thing!!! Any pictures of that??? What size K&N do they use??? Or do they just use like 400,000 regular sized ones? HATE to be the guy whose career is just re-oiling those!!!!

How big is the timing light??????????????

What a stroker!

BUT... she's not a "revver"

LOW frequency!

Did you see the steps to get down by the crank jornal holy smokes that is big. the seperate connecting rod and piston shaft thingy looks interesting and 5Million 'lbs of torque isn't to bad.

the "revver" problem can be fixed with gearing..... I wonder what the starter looks like on that thing.....

I remember reading about a guy that built a motorcycle around 2 cylinders cut off of some old aircraft engine-V-twin with 5000cc,and I thought that had big pistons!!
