That dude is gonna be an attention whore lol
Way ahead of its time, wow.
goes to the same tune as the Jay Leno Tankrod and Blastolene. but with more style
Just thought I’d share some before and after pictures of my Ford GAA tank engine. All aluminum 1100 cubic inch V8 used in WWII Sherman Tanks. These were gas burners rated at 500 HP and 1050 Ft. Lbs. of torque for military service, but are capable of much much more using mostly stock parts. They feature a 60 degree vee, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 180 degree factory billet cranks, pent roof combustion chambers, shaft driven DOHC’s, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual mags. They are pretty high tech. engines, especially considering they were built in the early 40’s. I’ve been working on getting one of mine going for the last couple of years, and should be cranking it within a week or so. It’s setting in my 70 Mustang right now which I plan on taking on short cruises when finished, 24 gallons of alcohol wont go very far. It is bolted to a heavily modified Powerglide right now. Wilcap ( Pat McGuire ) built the adapter and flexplate for me."
Hell yes. That’s a goddamn monster. :pimp:
“Oh you’ve got a 5.0? I’ve got an 18.0” :pimp:
I wonder how much that motor weighs…
the block looks alum but it is probably painted. twin turbo?
The site says its all aluminum.
That is a big engine though. Talk about a torque monster. I woud love to drive that thing.
twisted frames in the near future for that guy. I want one for my CRX
nasty…wounder what the red line is 1500 rpm?
yeah im gonna hop on the badwagon of, there is no way that car is gonna last long with that motor in it.
also, how much does that weigh? only thing this car will be good for is dyno queening
EDIT: i went back and now see that the entire front end was re-done
whats under the hood…wait nm its sticking out of the hood
yeah, dot
very cool
1100 cubes…siqq
Drag cars last just fine with even more torque than that. I don’t see why this won’t last.
Probably won’t go wheels up though.
Fucking awesome.
