Several years ago at EAA there was a builder up there that took a aluminum BBC and flipped it upside down. Pretty neat stuff!

Dave-
I am very surprised that a purist such as yourself would accept (although they are beloved to you) a big block in a Mustang!
I thought I had you pretty well read by now; Only a dripping oil everywhere, backfiring, snorting, liquid locking radial would be acceptable or would even catch your attention! I guess you'd be alright with it if I shoe-horned a hair dryer into that thing? Yeah right.
Here's one for you my friend- hope all the injuries and surgeries are healing well.......

As you are aware Piper Aircraft made a turbine variant of the Mustang called the Enforcer, And yes, that would be about as good as it gets from a maintenance standpoint. I'm sure you agree. And yes, I'd fly the daylights out of one if I had the chance.

Didn't "Ryan Faulkner" (sp) out of Salinas, CA make an aluminum V12, based off the small block Chevy, for use in the P51 replica's?
I remember seeing one at the Reno Air Races with his engines in one.
They were going to make a "Marine Version" but it never happened.
