He's quite the machinist. I bet he was pretty warm in there blocking all the air that's suppose to be cooling that radial.

I think the guy who put the jet engine into a late model VW Bug can take him though. How about a Match Race? ww

Water cooled

I was wondering about the radial being air cooled, but it appears to have water jackets rather than fins, therefore water cooled. Still a hot car, pun intended. happy.gif

I've seen pictures of the buildup before but not of it driving. Very cool and very crafty. Making your own transmission from scratch is a pretty serious hot rodder.
