Love the use of this big engine. The one used here is a very old one that runs on gasoline, yes that is a VERY big carburetor under those air filters. I got to repair the Diesel AVDS-1790 version on the M-60 series Main Battle Tanks and M-88 Armored Recovery Vehicles. You don't measure miles per gallon with this engine, you calculate gallons per mile...

ya that guy was my favorite .I was filming under that blue tent near the full pull line on the first day. was this on the second day ?

you mite have luck finding a Alison after the planes were used beyond their service life
you could buy a Alison engine for $350 a lot of guys put them in dragsters back in those days(late 50's early 60's). there is two different rotations though one can be used to power a car and the other cant I don't think there is a transmission that could handle them that well most would have been clutch only/direct drive
