ya? so answer your own question please?

 

all right ill take a crack:




an engine that's only gonna burn out/ blow up and hardly move your CL??

fuck im tired

lol jk peace

 

looks like an airplane motor


EDIT: or an air boat

 

I'll take air boat for $1000 pat

 

Definitely air boat, especially based on the dudes shirt - "Ferguson Waterworks." I certainly could be wrong though but that's where my money is at

 

Haha....yeah, that is my twin brother welding some crap.....I do most of the work on my CL-S at this shop where he is doing his project. the pictures are of his airboat that he completely rebuilt. The motor is a Contintental 0470 Aircraft engine with dual magneto's-this sucker is gonna fly!

 

Considering aircraft engines spin at about 2700rpm, whats the transmission going to look like?

 

No Tranny..it's direct drive...the prop bolts strait up to the crank.

 

I know a little about air boats. Look at my location. That is pretty hard corps to put a real aircraft engine on the Air Boat. That sucker should realy move. Cool

 

I don't know if the CL can handle that kind of torque considering its FWD nature. Torque steer and wheel spin I think would be a factor, but I could be wrong.

 

The H1 hummer is pretty similar. About 200hp with 500 lbs of torque (rough numbers, don't know the exact specs)

 

I don't think he ever said he was trying to put it in his CLS!

 

Pretty close.

195hp and 430 TQ. But is a big ass 6.5 V8 Turbo Diesel. It probably has 3x the displacment of the engine.

 

They are going to use the 5 A/T from the Cls and Tls of course.

 

Airboats don't require a tranny at all, but anyone who uses an automotive motor i.e. 350, 454 etc. needs a reduction gear since the crank spins too fast and it won't grab an adequate amount of air per prop blade. This sucker is bad, though! It has a 5 blade high-pitch carbon fiber prop- it will do 55 mph on 3 inches of water at 2,200 rpm! Yes, I am a Southerner...............and white, but I have dated a couple really hot Asian girls..LOL!

 

If he did, I would have left it open...

It's cool, and the biggest frigging aircooled engine I've ever seen...

But since this thread is not about a CL, it can't stay open here... and I can't move it to the off-topic forum...
