Hey there was a Pratt and Whitney R4360 28 cylinder last week. Lets see here, I could use a F4U-1D Corsair, or perhaps a Hawker Sea fury to bolt onto the engine.... :D :D. Heck a Grumman F8F2 Bearcat would be cool as well. I need a Reno Air race plane. The R-3350 had prop drive issues on most of the versions.

On the other hand there is still no replacement for displacement.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

I'd go with the Buick, better parts availibility, there are Buick dealers all over the place 8)

You've seen the Nissan parts guy's face when you ask for Roadster parts, can you imagine the poor guy at the Buick dealer when you drag in that thing?

Did anyone see Jay Leno's turbine powered motorcycle? Something like 750+ horespower on full power? Massive turbine lag, but very cool.

There's a man who knows how to build and buy toys.
