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) |

"Easy" in the way that it can be done with out inventing a new form manufacturing or other item.
"Easy" by me is never meant to imply it will not take work, and time. It is meant more as this is not like trying we are trying to control particles and move billions of atoms across a time space continuum. It will cost some serious money, time, and there will be problems, all projects have them. I can see why the term Easy used in the common way like the Staples ad would make you think well minimal effort required. Like anything worth doin, it will requires lots of blood, sweet, and tears. @tomeric914 Your welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
