Jolly, Shimla, INDIA Feb 7 2007, 11:52 am GMTI have seen many mods and have to accept that some of them are really weird. But this one is the worst that I have so far come across.
A car modder named Iowahawk has developed a new mod that would make you pull your hair apart.
He has taken a DOHC tank motor and has replaced the ever-so-cool Mustang Engine with this. I know this is madness, but some people like such kind of madness.
The developer also wants to take it on a ride after the design is complete. Hope he covers 2-3 miles with a gallon of fuel.
Mr. Iowahawk commented that:
"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. These were gas burners rated at 500 HP and 1050 Ft. Lbs. of torque for military service, but are capable of much much more using mostly stock parts. They feature a 60 degree vee, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 180 degree factory billet cranks, pent roof combustion chambers, shaft driven DOHC’s, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual mags. They are pretty high tech. engines, especially considering they were built in the early 40’s. I’ve been working on getting one of mine going for the last couple of years, and should be cranking it within a week or so. 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. It is bolted to a heavily modified Powerglide right now. Wilcap ( Pat McGuire ) built the adapter and flexplate for me."
I would love to meet this amazing gentleman who has the brain and the guts to ruin his Mustang by integrating a tank engine in it…!
