  4. Can I fit a merlin in a 916 chassis?
     
  5. i think you might struggle to fit a 27 litre supercharged V12 in a 916 chassis, sorry.

    they sound incredible though, my old mans mate looks after 2 spits and a P51 mustang for Rolls Royce, i did my work experience at school with him. amazing machines :upyeah:
     
  6. You should make plans to go to Duxford "Flying Legends" next year. That will excite you. I went this year its a cracking Display and they look after Bikes Got some cracking Photos

  11. No lol not quite but it was still fucking awesome.

  12. I'm guessing you are somewhere in Cambridgeshire or Suffolk then? I have either a Spit, Hurricane or two Mustangs over here almost everyday.

    AL
     
  13. Don't think it is the same one, but some guy did a 27ltr Spit engine in a Roller in the 70s which was so powerful it kept busting the transmission.............luckily he worked for Borg Warner; I think.........It was so fast the German Plod couldn't get it on their radar traps at 200mph in reverse.
