Need heavier suspension probably.

You'll never get away with it in Pennsylvania..Unless you figure out how to put a hood on it.

Better get a bigger gas tank, 14 gallons isn't going to get it warmed up!

reminds me of a Toyota Corolla 4 door i stuffed a Ford 428 SCJ and a cast iron Cruiseomatic in...had to drive from the back seat...front seat area was full of engine...i did manage to get the hood back on tho

Red Green would probably just Duct Tape ™ the from bumper over the roof, and attach other end to back bumper to hold that up ... LOL

Maybe replace front struts with screw jacks ???

That's a bit more than EJ Potter putting an Allison v12 in a Dodge Dart.

JOHNNYfromMI · Dec 15, 2011

I watched ej potter years ago with his tractors.
I remember he had some V24 allisons.
Make lot of power just never painted the tractors.

I watched E J Potter run a quarter mile at Grand Bend Speedway on a motorcycle with a 327 blown chevy powering it,smoked the rear tire pretty much the 1320 feet

onefarmer · Dec 15, 2011

Yep he was no show but all go. He called the v12 Ugly and the w24 Double Ugly. Heard he won one of his first Superpulls and po'd alot of expensive owner/drivers.

He did have a 283 mototcycle for a while too

There's stories in the newspaper every week about stuff like that falling off airplanes.

rrlund · Dec 16, 2011

That's what I was just going to say. I think he had one in a 57 Fury or some such thing too didn't he?

onefarmer · Dec 16, 2011

Something like that. Someone at my church had a video of EJ and his exploits. It said when he was done racing the Dodge he pulled the Allison, put the floor and original engine back in and drove it for years after as the family grocery getter.

That's what he said in his book Michigan Madman. I've got the original and the later updated version. Says in there that he actually had 7 different Bloody Mary motorcycles. Pretty much built a new one every winter since the motorcycle frame took a heck of a beating from that V8 engine.
If you don't have that book,you need to find it. You'll laugh til you roll on the floor from some of the near death experiences that he and Artie Brown had. Actually it was more HIS near death experiences that Artie was there laughing his azz off at when they were happening.
There's a few folks that I know,in the dedication in the front.
