Jay's car started with a M47 Patton Tank V12 engine (1950-1955)
1800 cu.inches all aluminum - air cooled - overhead cam - engine alone cost
U.S. Govt. $100,000 to produce in 1955. She takes 17 gallons of oil - 1000 h.p.
- 1500 ft. lbs. of torque. Y E S ! (The engine was designed to run under water!)

The rolling chassis early in the project.

Randy fabricated the adapter that mated the tank engine with the allison
automatic tranny out of a greyhound bus. Please note the cooling fans that
pull cool air in from the sides of the cylinders and out the top of the engine.

Chassis with wood bucks in Al Trumbly's shop. Fabricating the aluminum
panels which then will be welded together.
