I NEED :help:

:lol:

[RF Overlord]

Well, Mad-3R, that motor would certainly get Joe Obelcz ahead of his wife's Sable...

[LincMercLover]

It's not very shinny...:depress: :shake: :down:

[MAD-3R]

No, but it displaces 27 liters, and I can always get it polished.

This is the engine that was put in the P-51 Mustang

[LincMercLover]

Yah, but what kinda MPG do ya get? Huh? Huh? That's what I thought...

:argue:

[ONEBADMK8]

Ahhhh........your gonna have a biddin' war with me on that one!!

[MAD-3R]

If I could afford that engine, I wouldn't be worring about gas. Now insurance....

I can see the headlins now.

Black UFO seen cercling Washington DC. Intentions Unknown.

[LincMercLover]

Or...

"Lonely Man Crashes Perfectly Good Car Into The Atlantic"

[MAD-3R]

Mad-3r makes it!! Lands in Paris!!!

[LincMercLover]

Another Steve Focet (sp?) are we?

[SergntMac]

Was that Mustang a fastback?

[MAD-3R]

No, a vert with a hard top.

[LincMercLover]

Hey, as long as you have the TC button on, I guess all would be well...

[MAD-3R]

TC on the mustang? Now, just lower the wheels

[RCSignals]

Can you imagine just leaving that engine outside under a tarp??

[jefferson-mo]

LML...I think its GPM not MPG :lol:

:banana2:

[Billatpro]

Did he mean $5500.00?

[MAD-3R]

$55,000 is about right for that block. It's not made anymore, and was used to power the finest aircraft of WW2. Displacing 27 liters, its as big as a desk, and is now quite rare. These suckers were why HydroPlanes were called Thunderboats. Remember the 50 roostertails off those suckers.... Ahhh I miss some of the old sports shows....
