Cool, but I was expenting more power out of those engine. Prolly puts out alot of touque on a 8.9L 6cyl though. The old WW2 fighters did some serious numbers, some of them put out up to 1200hp!

they have fucking long strokes, don't rev very high, but don't really need to.

17-19 of nov, langley pk is to be a temp airfield
hopefully someone takes out the bell tower....

Massive torque on these types of engines.
I looked at fitting a radial aircraft engine into a car, but rev range isn't suitable.
Also the exhorbitant cost & no emissions complience...

Will have to go along and watch
