Opps... 5.7L, 327 Cu. in...

That's a Corvair engine. It's not possible to get 5700cc in that crankcase. Just no room. Early Corvairs were 2400cc, later ones were 2700cc. There are some converted to 3100cc using modified 94mm T1 PC parts.

Looks like they sent stuff to Texas once in -09.

It may well be a Corvair based engine - or a scam.

This one is better. :wink:

It's actually a Corvair converted for aircraft use. The reduction gear starter and the intake manifolds are tell-tail. I like the last photo that Darth posted.. Porsche flat 12 from a 917?

That picture should be framed as true modern artwork.
