"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.[...]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."

I wonder if Scott can drop one of those in his Alfa? ;-)

I think it would be more correct to ask if Scott's Alfa could be dropped into one of those? 1100cu at, say, 4000 rpm is about 2500 CFM of airflow...I think that white Spyder would look like a chicken getting sucked through a jet turbine :D

LOL!! Yep, that's the general impression I got too! :-)

Is Fezzic your co-pilot?

[curvemudgeon.livejournal.com]

Yes, and Jesus is my mechanic.

Jesus built my car.
It's a love thing.
Mainly Jesus, and my hot rod

Yeah, but with 1000+ ft. lbs of torque I give him one launch and he permanently bends the frame.

I'd pay hard bank to be behind the wheel when that happened though.
