Re: BangShift Approved Video: Toyota MR2 Plus Radial Airplane Engine Equals Awesome
Going on the principle that "If there is one example of something on the internet, there must be others", I have discovered a German fellow who put a huge radial engine (10.2 liter) in a car a bit smaller than the MR2. A teeny tiny Gogomobile in fact. It's smaller than a mini. It has wheels like a cushman, like a lawnmower.
This guy is an engineer and machinist. An amazing engineer and machinist at that.

I have an update worth posting
i completely redid the drive assembly:
starting at the radial:
-cummins turbodiesel starter and flywheel
-bmw guibo
-mitsubishi 3000GT transfer case
-goldwing final drive
of course each component has extensive modifications done to them.
and here's the end result:
if anyone wants to see it in person, it's showing up at the next 24hours of lemons race in Joliett, IL.
