The victim
The carnage!
That is ridiculous
Its a V12 Rolls Royce engine built for tanks stuffed into what used to be, I think, a Rover V8. WOW.

27L???!!! Where does that go in? Are you sure it is not 7.2 L like typical Rolls?
It's a tank engine, which is a detuned aircraft merlin. The tank is so it can run on LPG (natural gas). There's a video of it running floating around the web somewhere. The person who's building it is actually part of the staff of a magazine. The link for it is here : http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...49944477077608

I thought it was an airplane engine... now why would they want explosive gas inside the tank? That is why we use diesel... in case of any fire... no possibility to blow up except for the arsenal.
The scary thing about this Aussie chev...
Its road registered!!!
Gone but NEVER forgotten. :'(
And then...
Not forgetting, of course, the rather ugly concept called "enemy fire". I was doing some work for the Army last year and had a look at some armour test results - if you get penetration of the armour, it don't matter much whether it blows up or not - you're dead if you are inside.now why would they want explosive gas inside the tank? That is why we use diesel... in case of any fire... no possibility to blow up except for the arsenal.

If I had a RR Merlin, I'd be happy for life, I'd just rev it up and be in extacy forever.
