Settled Batches did not make any difference as they could run mor throttle at low altitudes in an Allison, the merlins 2 stage supercharger was only better above 20,000 ft Why a Allison Mustang was 30 MPH faster than than the current production $hitfire Mk V with the single stage supercharger. Also an Allison mustang would out run a merlin mustang below 20,000 ft !!!

@@wilburfinnigan2142 Read my reply before you make a public idiot of yourself AGAIN.

Nobody is really sure of the torque rating. But we estimate the horsepower to be around 1400.

Not sure what you are looking at. I'm guessing what you are seeing are the spark plug wires for the intake spark plugs. Fuel is delivered by one injector, located below the carburetor, directly into the blower.

@@chuckh9383 Allison used a Bendix pressure carb, similiar to a throttle body !!! NO fuel injection !!!!

Yes, there are 4 valves per cylinder. 2 exhaust valves and 2 intake valves. Also 2 spark plugs, 1 on the intake side and 1 on the exhaust side, on each cylinder.

V12....DUUUUUUHHHHHH !!!!!

At this time there is no answer to this question. Right now the Miss U.S. IV U-36 is the only vintage scheduled to be there. IF the Miss U.S. 1 will be on the water, it will be announced shortly before the event. This video was filmed on April 2nd in Omaha, the boat is in Detroit. There is a lot to get done in a couple of months.

Please do explain

Wouldn't that be awesome. A running example of an Allison V-12 would be closer to 6 figures. At $4000 I'll take 10 and give you an amazing finders fee.

I don't understand your concern. What type of tank do you use to hold fuel for your Allison? This just a test start on a stand. This is not a permanent set up. I have another video of this engine mounted on a trailer. That is a little more permanent setup that we hope to take to car shows/cruise nights to run.

@@chuckh9383 it is well known that a cylinder shape tank does not benefit the properties of petrol when used as fuel in a combustion engine.

TB as long as there is positive feul flow to the carburetor, the shape of the vessel used to hold the fuel is of zero consequence. Plus the round black tank in this video is the oil tank.

​@@chuckh9383 - you will find that other shapes will let the gasoline use its properties more efficient.

I would think it would depend on the individual engine. Kinda like, why does a Ford smoke more that a Chevy, sorry bad example. Lol. We also add a grove to our pistons and install a Cummings oil ring. That seems to help a lot with oil consumption.

supercharger is on the front in this application power shaft the rear , right side is the right bank!!!

It's almost 80 years old and it makes a 64 year old, 6500 pound wooden boat go 130 mph. But it is such a beautiful noise.

When test firing on the stand, we burn around 5 gallons in 15 minutes. In the boat turning laps, it's about 1.5 gallons per mile.

Is this what drives a turbo prop ?

Bank 1 seems to be doing ah lot of the work . might be the lighting.

This was the first time we tried to see if she would even run. We just completely built a new cylinder bank. I hadn't sealed the valve cover gaskets yet, incase we need to get back in to readjust the valves. That has be taken care of. We have a hose hooked up, the water outlet hoses are down in the floor drain.
