Can't wait for this to arrive! I don't think anyone else will have the same combo, at least not in our area.

Displacement: 2,364 in

fuk your hot geoff.

Lanny · « **Reply #5 on:** October 04, 2006, 08:46:06 PM »

I'm guessing a 16 cyl aircraft engine.

Ovalzealous · « **Reply #6 on:** October 04, 2006, 10:01:00 PM »

So what is it? Maybe a 14 cylinder Hercules?

Rob DVKK · « **Reply #7 on:** October 04, 2006, 10:09:33 PM »

Will it fit under the decklid?

Something fishy here. Stroke is more than the bore. Don't know of to many aircooled vw motors like that. HMMMMM. My guess is with Lanny. Does Geoff have a plane???

Jeremy · « **Reply #9 on:** October 04, 2006, 10:12:35 PM »

I see.

Is this the engine from the uncovered wreckage in Holland of your uncles plane?

Wow if it is. That is some piece of history.

You'll have to tell us about what has been going on with any recent updates.

I'll combine Lanny's and Overzealous' answers, and guess it's a two bank 14 cylinder, radial engine.

Ooooh... I see lots of custom fabrication, in the future!

Here's another radial bike.

Ding Ding Ding!!!! Ovalzealous was correct! And no it will never run again, It is one of the four Hercules Bristol 14 cyl engines from my uncles Halifax LV905 Bomber that crashed in Holland in may of 1944.

Below is a pic of what is left of that engine after 62 years, in fact not much has changed since the day it struck the dyke as it sunk in the clay only two days later.

I'm still working out details but it should be here by spring 07

Here's a little info on that type of motor

Type: 14-cylinder air-cooled two-row radial engine
Bore: 5.75 in (146 mm)
Stroke: 6.5 in (165 mm)
Displacement: 2,364 in
