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) |

Using the 911 Aluminum case as your base case would be better, independent cylinder heads, you would just need new crank, cams, cam towers, valve covers, gaskets, etc.....
But that puts you are 5.3 liters if you do it right. That is taking the 4.0L engine that is 0.666666666 liters per cylinder and multiplying it by 8. Yes @ClayPerrine engine has the number of the beast in ever cylinder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I am sure now that Rod Emory is having his 911-4 engines built, the P.N.W. has a bunch of 1 cylinder case halves lying around. NOT! Rothsports builds the engine for Rod Emory @Cary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I figure to get the 911-4 engines they put them in a big washing machine and wash them on hot, then transfer in the dryer for top secret number of minutes and it is shrunk to a -4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thats how it works for my jeans (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |
