6-440-2-3-4, 6 cylinder, 440 cubic inch, turn about 6k with some help, wasn't a big engine by any means, weight of 340lbs, it was that long stroke that made them hurry. That roadster in the video is what I'd like to end up with, I have enough moly to build the chassis, in the airplane, they were upside down, and backwards, so you need to just flip one over backwards, and hook er up, and watch er go, they were dry sump, so the engine didn't know any thing was different, one of the reasons they were built that way, was so the prop was higher up, to keep from mowing the grass!
