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) |

I was at Chuck Becks house for a Christmas party about 8 years ago and there on the garage floor was a 4 cylinder 911 engine. He was telling us (talk about a bench racing session) about he was protested for running a 2.0L 911 engine in a racing 914 because it was not a 4 cylinder . He said the rules only said 2 liters . So he cut down a 6 case to 4 cylinder 2.0 L 911 engine . I think he told me that Scat charged $5000 for a crank. He also had a 12 cylinder engine there which he built a motorcycle around . You can see that bike on J. Lano I think
