I have seen a few tribute GT cars that are great, but you all know me. I really love doing the obscure.
I have access to some aircraft cases and was thinking about taking 2 IO540s and adding another bank of pistons to one. Yes machining the cases, welding it all up and same with the crank. Wouldn't be cheap, or easy. But if I could make the motor, I could do the rest. Anyone know what the displacement was ? Or any other specs Attached image(s)

I keep seeing the word easy being thrown around in this thread. There is no easy button. |
