    You would be happy with a253 Ivan, you'd soon swap it for a 350, 454, then Turbo then a jet engine

    I nearly said a radial motor but got carried away with a Jet. That is very cool. Almost like a Mazda on steroid

    The things you can drive in the States are radical.......

    What an engineering masterpiece, and it was probably built in some blokes backyard!
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!

    That was AWESOME!!!!! There is an older series out there called Rides. Its an American thing but they are on a road trip in one episode when they come across a mini truck in a carpark of a super market with a 8 inch diameter stack out the back, when the popped the hood it had a Bell helicopter jet turbine engine in it. Regoed and on the road.

    Looking at that radial motor I reckon you could put a pulley where the prop was, V Belt and the back axle off a ride on mower. Shouldn't be to hard to knock up?
