1970 Mustang with a Ford GAA tank engine

[wassim.mj]

I found this in another forum thought i share

It's a Ford GAA tank engine in a 1970 Mustang. All aluminum 1100 cubic inch V8 used in WWII Sherman Tanks. Rated at 500 HP and 1050 Ft. Lbs. of torque for military service, but are capable of much much more using mostly stock parts. They feature a 60 degree vee, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 180 degree factory billet cranks, pent roof combustion chambers, shaft driven DOHC's, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual mags. The guy had a custom made adapter and flexplate made so he could bolt up a heavily modified Powerglide trans behind it. He's also got a dual 6-71 blower setup that bolts end to end to top it off, or 2, 103mm turbos go to on it which should be good for about 32-34 pounds of boost, he says. Right now though it's Enderle injected, 2 nozzles per cyl, 2 Impco 3.80'' throttle bodies. Oh, the engine weighs about 950lbs, add 150lbs to that if he uses the twin 6-71 blower set-up."

Here's some vids of what this engine sounds like...

That's actually a lot. Over the summer our machine shop took possesion of a 1100ci motor idled at 650 and redlined at 1800RPM. But it made like 200hp and 620tq at 800rpm.
