    Engine for a Titan T-51

    You will like the "music" of the 4.3. No high pitched whine. Sounds like a dirt track racer. In fact, I would like to incorporate mufflers on it, if it were'nt for the weight. I've been known to fire mine up for motivation a few times. Belted air power has redrives on the shelf as well as some...

    Engine for a Titan T-51

    Say there Tex, There seems to be some issues with trying to "big engine" the T-51. Here's a link to read. https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/warbirds-warbird-replicas/2826-big-engine-titan-p-51-a.html Seems odd to me that a 3/4 scale mustang would be so underpowered considering the...

    Engine for a Titan T-51

    Click on the printouts to enlarge them then click on them again and a new screen will open up. The cursor will have a + sign to enlarge again so you can actually see the chart. This is a pretty mild cam but the power is right down in the meat of the operation of the engine. As for the "merlin...

    Engine for a Titan T-51

    I have a couple of questions for you. What is the HP range for the T-51? What rpm does the honda need for the rated HP? Does the honda use a redrive? Here's the printout for my engine.

    LS1 Engine for aircraft?

    There isn't even a boss where the bolt used to go. This is a standard sbc/bbc bolt pattern? Hmmm?

    LS1 Engine for aircraft?

    I was reading about the LS last night on HOT ROD mag and one of the first things said was that there are no standard fasteners on the LS engine. The pics aroung the block showed the bell housing flange that doesn't look like the standard bolt pattern we've come to know. Did I see this correctly...

    **** Steve, are you the life of the party or what. You bout scarred me half to death with that post. smile All jokes aside though, if one goes commercial, you can sit back and have a nice beverage of your choice and read the latest aviation pub and then take nice nap to be fully rested when you...

    Dave Blanton passed away back in the 90's. No one picked up his redrive for continued production. Dave's 2.0:1 ratio gave way to the 1.6:1 because Dave said "HE WAS TRYING TO TURN THE ENGINE TOO FAST". You see, oddly enough, Dave Blanton and Jess Meyers were friends. One worked with the Ford...

    The largest spinner I could locate is 14". UHS Spinners - Custom Crafted Aircraft Components It may be of use to you. Jim

    WK, check this link out, it might help. : Homepage Give them a call, they're nice people. Their gear drives are rated for 1000hp. Hope that helps. I still stand by my Belted Air Power redrive. Jim

    Hundreds of miles of open water and a single engine of any kind. Not the best senario for that sense of calm. But hey, you might make it. Are you the gambling type? What and how much do you have to lose? My advise is to book a flight on a 747. When you get back take your homebuilt with the auto...

    Orion, I interpret this as you had a couple of psru's engineered and doc'd. What happened to them. It's hard to imagine that much money with no product to show for it. Then there's that guarantee you put out there. That's quite a statement. I'm curious as to how you came to that opinion...

    See Chevy "LS1 engine for aircraft" post #93. That is an airboat redrive on an LS engine.

    You would have to give Jess a call for current pricing on the redrive. You can get long block engines delivered to your door for less than 2500 bucks. A good source for those are S&S engine rebuilders in Washington state. PRE COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT ENGINES. Do the neat little mod of vortec heads...

    If you go with the 4.3, you will be time and money ahead to go with the Belted Air Power psru. It is an engineered package. They have the other parts on the shelf. It really is a plug and play set up. You will need to build your exhaust, engine mount, alternator bracket, radiator mount and some...

    LS1 Engine for aircraft?

    So what is the best way to deal with it. Do the wraps work best, which one. Ceramic coatings say they work very well for dissipating heat and sure look good.

    LS1 Engine for aircraft?

    Ben, I noticed that the pics of your engine package have the headers ceramic coated. Is this all that you did to address the heat issue. I'm looking at the ceramic coating myself. Jim
