Was that a T-56 I saw bolted to the back of the engine?

If so, thankyouthankyouthankyou! WAY too many automatic hot rods out there! Seems like no one has the gumption to shift their own machines anymore.

Its a Viper SIX-SPEED!

So it is! Shoulda read the comments in the other vids first... Still, well-done! 'Bout damn time someone used something besides a TH-(?)! Absolutely brilliant engineering feat, as well.

you got that right on-alisterwolf66 too many

lazy people-automatics and modern engines-

are the inbeeders lazy way of bulding a car-

we need more old school like this car-1930,s

power with modern upgrades-and a manual trans

with that viper trans-150-topend-? im working

on a 34-ford roadster-Repro steel body-will

have a injected flathead-man-trans-customer

said he wanted a driver-and i told him sure-

tenn-cal-no problem-

To see the motor first start Search YouTube:

"Starting Jack's V-16 Project Car" Then for final assembly and more pictures go to JackBowser dot com. Got a second at the Autorama at Cobo Hall in Detroit in March!

Very nice seeing that Marmon 16 ROAR to life again. Where did you find the donor engine? I was also curious to know how did it go finding parts , especially Hi Performance parts? Did you have them custom made? I sure would love to duplicate that!! WOW! I have a 55 Packard V-8 myself. Thanks,  Vince C.

Actually its a 34 Marmon CAR engine.
