found an suitable engine replacement for you mustang http://www.gaskrank.tv/tv/hersteller/5-liter-v-twin-eigenbau-flying-millyard-maechtig.htm :thumbsup
Wow! cool idea :XXsunsmile
What about the H1A under the cover :wave
Really good spot Chris! :thumbsup
Now that's a v twin I could like
Can you imagine the torque that thing is pushing out? A ton on tickover.. :ImaPoser
I liked the little dance the frame did when he blipped it. :love10
I wonder what kind of radial engine they chopped up to make that. It's pretty bad ass :XXsunsmile
Did anyone else read the article in Classic Bike Magazine last year about the 1930's German bike with a 7 cylinder radial engine fitted on the FRONT wheel? It seems that there are only a handful of them left and they have all been restored by one German engineer. The bike journalist tried it out, found it terrifying to ride along a local road in a fairly straight line. He was told
he was not to try turning it around under any circumstances. I think it was in the October edition or thereabouts.
