Re: Radial engine build?

Nice to drag off and on the trailer and look at during the shows, but running and driving aren't in it's future.

Need vertical airflow through the engine compartment. If there's a prop under there, the hood has to go.
The 90 degree turn to drive the trans is less, but still, a problem.

Just my halfwit (or less) thoughts.

Usually less than you would think. I've seen a couple of motorcycle builds with those. This one is 110 HP.
