Great job on the exhaust system Travis, I agree with JAMMER definently old school Detroit!

Travis,
You may already be aware of this, but you may be able to convert this engine to diesel with a little work. Diesel used to be fairly popular fuel in a lot of the older RC airplane engines. There is still a bit of info out there on the airplane forums telling how to build a kit to get the compression just right. Diesel and castor fuel also smells a lot better when running.

WOW looks like you got a still going there lol! Moonshine anyone...

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Looks awesome! What about reverse?

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Thanks Ed and Kent and it is a two stroke.

That is a thought but this is one of the best running nitro engines I have ever seen. It starts on the first or second pull and it will runn out a whole tank at almost an idle.

Shhhhh how did you know about my still.

It has a manual reverse.:D

Thanks to all for looking.

Travis

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Will it pull any weight or is the clutch to small? Never messed with gas R/C stuff
