allison engine run

man! forget putting that into a MK 1, build a dragster around it!

You gotta be kidding me! Thats a waste of a great engine...

no please dont get me wrong, its an awesome engine, but it would be just as cool to build a car around such a powerful engine!

Allright I can see it from your point of view, but I really think the engine would purely be wourn out from being used for dragracing. I love renovating old engines and bikes, and to me these engines are as holy as it gets.

hi, what engine oil would that use and how many litres,when do you plan to install to a mk1 escort

Allison built by GM.....duhhhhhhh

no back when the V-1710's were built Allison were a stand alone company, GM didnt buy them out till much later

Comparing it to the Merlin, I give it 87/100 and I give the Merlin 100/100!

if you're talking at 30000 feet, you're right on the money; at sea level, the score would be closer. One the biggest "what ifs" of WWII aviation is this: what would the P-38 been like with the Merlin? My God!

Oh i wouldnt write off the Allison so quickly, they might not have been the high altitude performer the Merlin was, but at low to medium altitude theyd give a Merlin a run for its money, also they run far more smoothly and a far less tempramental than the Merlin
