learned about it on http://www.autoblog.hu/videok/video_24_hengeres_dizelmotor.html

not much info on the www yet, but I did find that the guy is a millionaire real estate developer, and owns the biggest of the Blastolene cars (can't recall the name, it's the one with the PT boat Packard engine) and this titan engine is going into a Peterbuilt 359

"Black Jack" radial engine chopper. Not the first radial chopper I've posted, but I'm not over them yet

for the story about it: http://redoubtreporter.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/bike-takes-flight-%E2%80%94%C2%A0motorcycle-powered-by-airplane-engine/ in the story the bike builder and owner states that there are only 3 radial engine choppers... I guess he hasn't looked at my blog, I've got 3 others posted, Lucky 7 seems to be posted 2wice, before (at SEMA 2009) and after a blue paint job, one chopper at the Pebble Beach Concours, and another I can't locate right now. If you want to see the others, just click the label at the bottom of this post "radial engine"
