Low Fly-by at CXO in Conroe, TX. This is our Wheeler Express, experimental aircraft with 405 HP Chevrolet V8 and Geared Drives PSRU-no belts or chains! Sounds great, huh? More information available at www.Geareddrives.com

....and my Chevy has 4500 hours on it with no engine issues yet.

What about the thrust bearing on the Chevy? Has that been changed from the auto application to the aircraft version? I've only heard and seen bad things happen with Chevy motors in planes. 50 hours, or less, and you better be prepared to dead stick. I'm not knocking your efforts here, but I'd be curious about the reliability and longevity of the setup.

The Chevy V-8 is a symbol of power, sound, and this motor can be installed in anything. I installed a Chevy V8 in a 197++ Datsun 510, nobody could see it under the hood, ut the sound revealed the secret. The headers had to be made one pipe at the time. When you're young, nothing can stop you.

I thought I would hate the sound, but I LOVE IT!
