Here are a few more engine shots from Milwaukee. Meyer and Drake "Offenhauser 270" series in various configurations, and a stray V8 installed in a Novi. Not a Novi engine. Can any of you guess what it is?.

From 91 cubic inches it probably put out more horsepower than an eight cylinder aero engine with 91 cubic inches per cylinder.Quote:

I'll have a wild guess

No, A Maserati 4.5 litre from a Ghibli. The other Novi there had a small block Chev installed. No one seemed to know how many Novi survive with the Novi engine. There is one in the Indianapolis Speedway Museum, and two more known to be in private hands. The others seem to have disappeared and may be hoarded away in places unknown.Quote:

Two shots of a Miller 183 and a 122. One of these cars badly lunched its diff. Photos of which will be posted.
And a fuel injected Chrysler Hemi.
Chomped up diff as promised.
This car was at Zakira's Garage, Cincinatti, later in the week with repairs well advanced.
More Milwaukee cars.
One of the Novis getting some attention.
A rear drive Miller.
A brass era veteran. Not sure now of the make.
A Bentley engine.
Delage Grand Prix engine.
