Pete M Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 looks to be a 14 cylinder radial aircraft engine being swapped into an old truck (Studebaker?) :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Pete. That's a 7 cylinder radial. Two pushrods per cylinder. Notice they're off set. I'm still working on identifying it. So far it's a toss up between a early Continental or a LeRhone. The truck is a '39 or '40 Plymouth. although it may be a Dodge. They were similiar. It's either a show truck or a dragster. but certainly not a DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just confirmed. Truck is a 1939 Plymouth. Now to identify the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Just out of curiosity...What HP rating would a 7 cylinder radial have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The smaller ones would be 'around' 150HP. The larger ones around 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yep, 39 Plymouth. Good eye Jim. :cheers: Thought it was a 38 International at first like the one below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Jesse James built a radial engined motorcycle several years back. Those things are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COFFMAN Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Me thinking it's a waste of some fine pressed steel. The orange one is oh so sweet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If that shop were cleaner and neater I could suspect that it was a Jay Leno project. Just the kind of off the wall build he would do. If you've got a Toronado with two engines, steam cars and a tank engined roadster, why not a radial engined pick-up truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
