    An epic story of a man, a 10-liter, 9-cylinder radial engine, and a very tiny Goggomobil

    Seems to me to have wasted a lot of time and money converting and combining some valuable components into a white elephant. Still, it's his time and money, so good luck to him. He does have talent.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    How does he keep the engine cool - it is an air cooled aircraft engine that would normally be cooled by the propeller and airflow. When these engines are used in tanks they have fans etc - I didn't see anything on this to assist in engine cooling.

    No actually ..because he was German, us krauts have to prove the impossible can be done. It's a genetic thing we can't help it.

    Nev. Morris at Dalby has two WWII radials in his shed, a good bit bigger than that one. Recently he got one down, made a stand, and got it running. He has long had an idea of putting one into some kind of vehicle but the sheer size is a problem. They are about 4' x 4' x 4'. Nev. is currently building a replica of one of those huge veteran chain drive racers that used surplus airship engines. He is fabricating his own cylinder block to use a Caterpillar crankshaft and rods. Four cylinders, 16.1 litres.
