One suggestion is to low mount it behind the cab of a small forward control truck. 3-4 tonner.Quote:

It could only be a show vehicle as the Street Rod Federation Qld. branch has a self imposed limit of 500 cubic inches. 1950 is a tad in excess of that.
Other WW2 Vessels that used these motors were the RAAF Air and sea Rescue 63ft Patrol boats 1944-1985
Brian, saw these sold a year or two ago. Running motor made about $5600. Not sure on the one for spares. Hate to have to set up crank clearance.

When I was in High School one of the other boy's family had one of these. About the only thing I remember about it was that they had it shipped from Melbourne to Sydney by road to save fuel......Quote:
