[Land-speed] First time on the engine stand-Non LSR

[JOE LANCE]

Same here---Fifty three years ago I was lowering an Olds V8 into a 39 Ford
in the back yard when one of the local auto "mechanics" stopped by and told
me it wouldn't work because big engines went into big cars and only small
engines fitted into little cars.

Knew a guy who flew Corsairs off carrier decks during WW II, funny thing was
he used to get air sick when he flew on commercial air liners during leaves.

David,
 
Never say that.   Back about half a century ago, I thought an Olds V8
would never fit in a 49 Chev, and right then I remember an article about
"get
a bigger hammer", I think in Hot Rod magazine.  They showed a Fiat with a
monster motor from a tank - 'bout the size of the P&W.  I guess it will fit
if
you get a big enough hammer.
