  • Batgold, is this an old DC-3 engine?

    I am ignorant of how old it may be. Can you tell your viewers if this is an old surplus engine, from a defunct aircraft? And, how much did you pay, for it?

    Thanks in advance.

  • @LOlamVaEd This engine came out of a Tank. It was never in an aircraft. it was something like 70 lbs. heavier than an equivalent aircraft radial.

  • it needs a prop or test club for cooling and it will also act as a flywheel which im sure it needs to run happily.

  • ............ FAIR FUCKING PLAY you putting that in a car if so i bet that would bomb down any road :D

  • That shit looks like something out of MadMax. i fucking love it!

  • Great , just Great! I also have a radial engine that I just got started. Please check out

    my video at sainthelena1. I love round engines.

  • Put this on your lawnmover, and your neighbors will be P-I-S-S-E-D.

  • @LOlamVaEd The aircraft version of this engine was mostly used in the Boeing A75 Series Stearman, also known as the US Army PT-17 "Kaydet". It was also used in the Fairchild PT-23. It's a WWII surplus engine. A number of agplanes (cropdusters), including some Stearmans, did fly with converted tank engines! Such aircraft could operate only in the Restricted Category. The DC-3 used either Curtiss-Wright R-1820s (DC-3, DC-3A, DC-3B) or, more commonly, Pratt & Whitney R-1830s (DC-3C, C-47, C-53).

  • did this come out of a sherman ?

  • Now you got er' goin' ... Time to put it to work in some kind of rig !

  • @glovztoshow ...Um.. because the carb wasn't wide open. You can start a car engine without it connected to anything too (neutral?).

  • You must put out some good block parties for your neighbors to put up with that POS
