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) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Easy, and he is building for a market. This would be a one off.
Okay well if it goes like a 906 windshield, I will have to make 10 to get the one I need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The W12 - W8 engines are an interesting piece of engineering, never got to the point of wanting to swap them in anything. And I keep coming back to if I am building a 914 with all the comforts, and handling of a Cayman, then why not just build the Cayman. It is a really awesome chassis.
