The massive 5,000 hp Lycoming XR-7755 first ran in 1946, designed to power the next generation of large aircraft. I wonder what the fuel burn rate is at cruise speed. Lots. |

Here is the huge 1918 Liberty V12 aircraft engine that launched the Lincoln Motor Company. On the left is Henry Leland with the company officers and the 6,500th engine built. It's advanced engine design used overhead cams, aluminum crankcase, liquid cooling, 45 degree angle, and 1,649 cubic inches. After WWI was over he began building the Lincoln Automobile. |

I was very fortunate and attended many cars and coffees with Grady Clay We were chatting at one event and I told him that I had never heard a Porsche 4 cam motor run. He told me, matter of fact like, "Really, I've had 20 or more of them in my day" http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1687741143.jpg |
