no amount of air alone is gonna keep this cool.

For sure. Thats a ton of work to run 12s.

Running 12s in a tin can with a big V8 bolted behind you seat probably feels pretty awesome.

I have a friend who was really into these vans in high school, and likely still is, been a while since I’ve talked to him. Anyway, I’d always told him that I’d build him pretty much exactly this some day.

If you think about it the radiator is air cooled.

It’s going to be a very long while before I would even consider buying a bus, there is a very long list of projects ahead of this one.

And sure, why not, and Merc 2 stroke I6 would be a pretty awesome car engine.

New idea! Open hood hot rod with a Merc 2 stroke I6, add that one to the list!

Demon-Xanth knows how to operate a street. > Wacko 01/13/2017 at 10:29

That looks so easy to work on, for the passenger side at least.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > Wacko 01/20/2017 at 12:06

Should have used a Tatra V8 so he could have kept it air-cooled. Probably wouldn’t have had the same output, I suspect...
