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) |

Didn't someone in Europe do an 8cyl T4 many years ago ?. Yes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There's a grainy vid of it on YT drag racing, there're pic's of it, but I don't have time to look. It's a guy in Sweden, 80's or early 90's I think it was in Hot VW's Magazine. |
