You think the 914 is loud with a 3.0L carbed six on the other side of the firewall?!... How about a 28.02 liter (yeah, I did the math) P-51 aircraft engine and NO firewall!

Someone had way too much time, a case of Pabst Blue Ribbin, and a welder on their hands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

This will be my next project. Stuff one of these into the teener. All I'd have to do is cut the firewall out, the trunk out and the front trunk out. I could straddle the baby.... yeah, that's it!

So this would make it a 914-12 28.02 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Try and fit that emblem on the back of your teener!

If that guy was drinking blue ribbon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) then I'm not surprised at the concoction he made. I posted on there that I was going to Photoshop that engine in the 914 and see what it would look like. If not that engine another V12 engine

I wonder what the reserve is. The motor alone is probably worth at least $50k. That's just a guess, but I do know that a typical overhaul on that motor is $50,000 (which aint bad considering that includes 800 hours of labor!)

I hope someone buys it and puts it back in a bird. To many will never fly again. One less Opel doesn't bother me as much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I guess.... in addition to too much time, the welder, and the Pabst, somone obviously had a P-51 V12 on their hands as well.

That's a common junkyard item, right? Go down to the local pick and pull and ask if they have any 1710 cubic inch engines lying around. Say what?

Think about the crank on that mother!

I can personally vouch for how LOUD those mofo's are. They take off right outside my office window sometimes. The average Cessna or Piper single-prop sounds like a housefly in comparison.

No wonder the interior is red, to cover up the blood stains coming from the ears

In Seattle they used those motors in Hydroplanes ie: Slo-Mo-Shun, Miss Thriftway, HawaiiKai, Bardahl, Pay & Pak until the Turbine came along. Loud as hell!!! but a sound that matches the 911 six engine sound. They used to go 200+mph on Lake Washington and lots of guys died.

I've heard of this conversion, but never seen any pictures till now.

Now all I need to see is the pictures of the Impalla with the booster rocket attached before it hit the wall 200 feet above the canyon wall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Impala? I saw a picture of a Ford Truck that the rocket engine was installed in the bed. Yep, it hit the canyon wall going pretty fast.

anyway.....my uncle owned the complete engine from a 30's (?) caddy v-16! sold it to some dutch racing team for 40k! this thing had soda can cylinders and was like two "straight 8's" next to each other! the crank was totally trick!
