I want to use an air cooled diesel

There are Deutz V16s, you know. Then again, there are also diesel air-cooled radials - the Guiberson A1020 and T1020.

I saw this at the Lone Star Round Up in Austin. They fired it up and it started smoking like crazy... out of the side pipes and right into the crowd. My smoke machine pic:

Beautiful showpiece. Shame, it seems radials don’t really lend themselves to automotive applications with the cooling problems. I’ve wanted to see something like this for a while.

It’s really just a question of, shouldn’t you have it set up like a tank radial? In most cases passive airflow isn’t enough, but every time a radial has been used in a tank it’s had a big fan on it, and that usually works.

You can probably get by in a hot rod with a more minimal shroud to preserve more of the right look - it’s not like tanks move fast enough to generate any of their own airflow.

Yeah, it’s too bad the Peking-Paris will only allow petrol because I would totally run one of those in a late 30's Ford/Chevy.

I’d love to see someone do some styling around the shrouds, I honestly think they look even cooler than the unshrouded radials.

I forgot about the tank radials. That would look really good in a car.
