thats cool but I would rather get a real one with the V12 Merlin in it.
I would never feel safe depending on a big block chevy to keep me from becoming hamburger

id go new school instead of an allison or merlin, theres a few v12’s that would probably leave you with a more realistic sound … jag, lambo, ferrari or bmw …
or this i guess is an option : [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUGATTI-EB-110-QUAD-TURBO-V12-ENGINE\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46093QQitemZ4594349447QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUGATTI-EB-110-QUAD-TURBO-V12-ENGINE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ46093QQitemZ4594349447QQrdZ1)

an aircraft motor is not a car motor… I would never stuff anything designed for a car into a aircraft…

a corsair would rock, as long as the wings folded like they should
and since this is my “if i was rich” thread … ill say this
i wouldnt keep it air an airfeild, id build an extra tall garage at my house, make sure the plane fired up FAST … and only only it in or out at 430 am 🙂
think my neighbors would figure out that the black marks on the street were from a fighter plane landing ?

My neighbor has a plane, over the summer they were doing some engine work and chained the plane to a tree and powered it up. It got quite windy behind it…

little known fact - the car was originally named for the plane, not the horse.

dude, if i was gonna build a flying machine thats powered by a 5 hp brigs, its not gonna be a personal heli … jesus tap dancing christ
5 hp engines belong in 1/4 scale rc planes !
and i knew the car was named for the plane 🙂
the horse on the cars grill is also running the wrong direction from a racetrack grandstands perspective if i remember correctly
