If the cars didnt keep getting bigger & heavier , they couldve kept developing it ! :p Be intresting to see the insides of one , to see if they got anything right, that could still be usable .
If theyed pulled their finger out , they coulve beat benz with the worlds first motorcycle !

Just to annoy the troops , a TWO CYLINDER four cylinder ENGINE . Or a Four Pot Twin !

Perhaps the first sucessful ' flight ' Likely the First SOLEY powered take off . Double Acting . Home built by the aviator on a treadle lathe , from cast iron pipe . 1902 ?

Mazing what some people throw in the tip . Sleeve Valve youd get a narrow four cylinder 8 chamber motorised cycle engine . Or six'd get a TWELVE ! .

oops , looks like theyre all fours . Twin hides in nose of rotten replica at M O T A T . The bloke wasnt uneducated . Dont think theyve tensioned of the No 8 wire right , for wing camber .
Cantve done fencing ,

W T F is that ? I think these rotaries might actually be THREE STROKE ! ?

Guess its a racing motor , snowmobile ?

Figured a 6 cylinder flat SIX TWO STROKE would almost be like a 24 Cyl four stroke .
Fire as often at same rpm , anyway .

WHERES ALL THE FEATHERBED FRAMES !

Dunno wot this ones got , but it was pretty hot for 1970 odd .

Was used for everyday transport & interstate by a young Aussie whom built it . Pretty basic . There it just runs a tourque converter . Inspiration in part for the
Tri 2.3 R III with its double speed half the tourque trans from its earlier dual webered AMC 4-speed iteration .

Of Course , if you want 500 H.P. , the TVR 5000 derivative of the old 60's B.O.P. al uminum V-8 will drop in . Dunno if'it'll start snapping cranks / Harmonic Damper'd
drag if you used it to challenge Rossi .

Traco Olds . Brabam used the production block, initially , braced . Repco later developed the P76 4.4 block . Same bolt patterns .

These are a bit heavier , but if youve got one lying around in the shed , it should shoehorn in . The Brabham heads can & do bolt on the ' P-38 ' Leyland . as per john Smith ! P6 Rover aus/nz .

But they say a Featherbeds only good for 100 H.P.
