I'm pretty sure, if memory serves, the UH guys pretty much used up the supply of these engines, and were pretty much forced to go to jet engines.

Anyway, here's one that got stuffed into a street legal 'funny car'. Pretty nice craftsmanship, too!

This Wild 1964 Chevy Malibu Funny Car was a Street-Legal, 1,710ci, Allison V12

How recent is this photo. I remember this car was on the cover of an old VW/Porsche magazine in the mid to late '80s.

Great thread. Some one offs I haven't stumbled across before.

it used to be quite the sport. in the mid-west, anyways.
the junker tractors powered by Allison.
usually driven by some farmer that liked to "tinker around in the winter".
