Aircraft engine, boat V drive into a car transmission, in a truck. Every base covered. Fantastic engineering.

[@savage22bolt32]

I knew an unscrupulous genius who bolted a Chevy engine to a Ford transmission & stuck it in a Chrysler vehicle. Then he sold it to an old lady and made a profit. He was fun to hang with. Even drilled a hole through the side of a refrigerator to keep his beer keg cold and have the convenience of an external tap.

[@samfosdick9874]

Jay: that's a lot of weed you're smoking to come up with that lol

[@ricercr44]

It gets one city block/ gallon and can only run for 10-15 min before it overheats; Not exactly great engineering if you ask me.

[@r.scottmacleod4564]

That truck needs somebody that has a marina with an airfield and hangar at it...and then make sure there is a seaplane in the hangar with the truck!

[@RockstarBruski]

Love the look, design and sound and that it's from a salvage yard and father, sons and friends put this together and had a great time doing it! It's beautiful rolling art!

[@taofledermaus]

I bet Jay is planning to build one with a B29 engine in it.

Aren't the b29 engines huge though XD

[@ChrisMarrou]

@Furio I just checked...the B-29 engine had 18 cylinders (two 9-cylinder engines fastened together) and produced 2,200 horsepower, although "it had an unfortunate tendency to catch fire."

[@ajorsomething4935]

[@sethhughes2163]

I believe that is potentially one avenue of the many possibilities, swirling around in Jay's forebrain~ ( BTW- glad to see yet another industry brother, brother )

[@jeffballentine3951]

Having been brought up around old airplanes and adding my love for all things automobile, I found this project mesmerizing! The combining of the Golden age of aviation and the automobile became greater than the parts! It reminded me of seeing an elderly couple, who'd been together for 60 years, but were sitting on a park bench, holding hands, and looking at one another with that same spark they'd felt for one another at eighteen! Together, that spark lit a fire. That fire not only warmed their lives, but those of everyone that saw them together, and realized that true love that lasted a lifetime, did exist! That's how this project made me feel when I saw how that old Cessna/Jacobson Radial and all the other aviation influence made that old '39 something it never dreamed it could be!!! The guys from Denver really did both aviation and the classic car world a favor bringing the two together in such an amazing way!! Thank you to them, and to Jay for showing us!

[@olderthandirt5267401]

I've seen this truck many times online, but never seen it run. That is awesome! My dad would of loved this video. He was a aircraft mechanic for over 50 years as well as my brother and me both were. Our specialty was aircraft restoration. We lost dad in 2011. Both myself and my brother are both retired from our business as well. I enjoy all of your videos Jay! Keep em coming!

[@gregorylee1879]

Love this salvage yard, the guys at Colorado helped me for years when I lived in Denver to keep my cars up and running, Even today, I like to stop by there when I am in town, they always seem to have everything I need somewhere in the yard! For car guys it's Disneyland.

[@RS-lt2ue]

Great video Jay, America loves you and the great cars! I bet most folks don't know that Sherman Tanks in WW2 originally had 9 cylinder radial engines as their drive engines! Later a crazy complicated 30 cylinder Chrysler multibank diesel, and then finally its best engine (according to the Army) was the DOHC, 4 valve per cyl, flat plane crank, all aluminum 1100cu inch Ford V8. It was 500Hp and over 1000ftlbs all in by 2600 rpm! Cams had no belt or chain it was a incredible gear driven assembly. It was ironically, originally a 12 cylinder fighter aircraft engine designed in the late1930s, that Ford chopped off 4 cylinders from. (Rolls Royce had already secured the aircraft fighter engine contract unbeknownst to Ford.) It was by far the easiest Sherman tank engine to service and was extremely dependable despite being all aluminum and many many thousands of lbs lighter than the other engines. 30,000 were made according to historical figures.

[@nobodyinparticular5224]

Dang PatriotPaul5839, I knew Sherman's had the Radial but I did not know they had an aluminum FORD chopped V8.

R.I.P. Norman Sample. I knew Gary Corns. Not well though. I had an 8 month stint as a wrecker driver moving cars inside the yard in 1991. The yard "Tow truck" I used was a late 70's dodge 1/2 ton with a 1940's era human powered winch. Turn the wheel 15 times and Up she goes. Flip a lever and use a glove to friction control spin 'er down. Founder Norm, was eco-minded(sarc)before green. I was "promoted" to winchman after my predecessor left. I knew there would be the day when the old man was laid to rest. Nice job on expansion Gary! Looks like you have the property all the way to old man Svigels place too. Sheridan/Denver, Co.

[@Se7enAte]

This thing is so cool. Love the design of it. Just needs a water cooling setup so it can run longer

[@woddow]

most radial engines are air cooled, I don't think you'd be able to setup some type of cooling system for each individual cylinder (unless you're some type of wizard). Idk just my guess

[@Se7enAte]

TheOne AndOnly I know they're usually air cooled. But they're also usually going 150mph way up high. Putting some water jackets around the cylinders wouldn't be too hard, but would take away a lot of the aesthetic

[@user-neo71665]

midget racers have designed heads for air cooled motorcycles back in the 50s (maybe earlier) to make them water cooled. Just takes the right person with the correct skills drinking or smoking the right thing on the right night for it to happen.

[@kolby4078]

Just put a prop on the front (or rear because I think this thing is mounted backwards)

[@hdaviator9181]

It would also increase weight. This car clearly isn't about making anything practical.

[@edwardwerick2420]

My understanding of aircraft engines is that the RPM redline is only about 1500-2000. I would have liked to know the final drive ratio from the crank to the rear wheels. If I am correct it must be close to 1:1 or less to get any kind of speed up. Obviously, torque is more than sufficient. Also, This is the first time I have seen a piston aircraft engine run without a prop. I have always assumed that some kind of prop was needed to act as a flywheel. A very fascinating piece of engineering and first rate craftsmanship! Thanks for the closeup look.

[@silveravnt]

I was hoping they would talk about the finish. It looks like bare metal but it must be sealed somehow or it would rust. It looks really incredible.

[@borderex9993]

Could it be stainless steel or aluminum?

[@silveravnt]

+borderex 17 could be but it looks original to me

[@davidbell1110]

It's probably just clear coated. That's basically a finishing coat you might have over a normal paint job but in this case there is no base paint job. I have seen a few raw steel cars done in the same way. The body itself just looks like polished steel to me. Really if they had done it in aluminum or stainless there would be nothing left of the original truck with this type of finish.

[@ItchyKneeSon]

I heard from a motorhead friend that simply coating steel with clear would still allow it to oxidize. I've seen a stripped chopped rat rod VW bug and a bus at a show before, but didn't get a chance to ask the owner how he did it. I did, however, see a VW Caddy/Rabbit truck at the same show with a bare steel, rusted, but reinforced, engine bay that the guy just sprayed with thick oil constantly to keep it from rusting. I'm guessing these guys used some kind of sealer on this, though.

[@silveravnt]

@Joe It looks brushed though. I guess that is possible with paint. I sure love it though.

[@charlesfoster141]

As a pilot I find this hotrod thrilling to say the least. I would have found a way to keep a 4 bladed wood club prop on it like the one's used on engine stands during testing. This would help the cooling altogether. I am very familiar with the 300 "Shaky Jake". You will find this engine on Waco biplanes, Gullwing Stinsons and a few airshow modified Stearman biplanes. All pilots love radial engines, especially for the sound. This car sounded like an airplane cranking, but not while running because it's missing the huge propellor noise. When I saw the interior in this car I knew these builders were genius designers. That is by far the greatest idea for an interior I have ever seen. Jay should have bought this car on the spot. Nothing can beat it for comments at car shows. I might prefer this to a Dussenburg.

That truck is just insane, and I love it. Gary Corns is truly nuts, and we need more crazy people like that in the world! Does anyone know what that blue Benz thing was in the background? I've never seen anything quite like that.

[@zmanindy]

The blue Benz is a race car hauler. He did a show on it not that long ago if you dig thru the videos.

[@JeffDeWitt]

Mark Zeis Thanks!

[@Chance-ry1hq]

In 30 years somebody will find this thing in the back of a barn.

[@vtr0104]

I just love that little tug, how the heck was that thing as small as it was and weighing 3000 pounds, plus hauling stuff around on a 112CI flat-head four!?

Ten seconds in thumbs up for a radial powered ANYTHING, absolutely magic!

[@watchjaredwork1487]

Needs to put a small prop back on it to solve cooling issues.

[@DrFrankeni]

I thought of that also but the bracing they have in there plus the belt drive are in the way I think. But would would add a cool sound when it was running too!

[@watchjaredwork1487]

Yea but there was enough space in there to reengineer the belt drive and make it work

[@seanclark8452]

Maybe a custom blower pulley with a club prop? A bit like alternator fans?

[@tronixfix]

Watercool it 😂

[@gittyupalice96]

They could probably fit a small steel bladed car fan on from say a 80's chevy and help cool it a "tiny" bit.

stunning I got chills when it comes out of garage love the background music...💪

_The first 5-6seconds of that song is the exact same music I hear when I bang my head or hit my funny bone, while under a Dump Truck. 0.o_ _Same happens ever year I go climb around the U.S.S. North Carolina battleship._

[@bvon5630]

Its such a great work of art. I think it would be worth mounting two 44 gallon drums on the back for extra cooling oil. With cooling fins all over the drums. And hopefully it could be on the road for a longer time each drive before getting too hot. A real fun truck and a credit to the Dad and his sons.

Batteries are in parallel ,to make 12v, unless they are 6 v batteries.

I was thinking the same thing. We are electricians aren’t we. 35 years as an electrician and now a building inspector

[@ScottKenny1978]

If legalizing weed leads to crazy cars like this, I think legalizing is a good thing!

[@patricksanders858]

Scott Kenny, Gary seemed to want to correct Jay on the weed. It might have been imagined while on weed, But that pretty awesome engineering for alleged stoners.

[@PatrickCavanaugh0420]

@@warnerrobins8542 their life would be the exact same imho. A lazy person without ambition is just that with or without weed. I will agree that it can be abused as with anything but theres many many very successful people who use on the daily. What's your take on alchohol? Just curious because most people who arent too big on legalization and dont understand much about the substance as you called it drink alcohol at least on occasion which is a thousand times worse for your health and mental well being. Take 2 guys give one a big bag of bud and the other a 5th of vodka and tell me who you'd rather be around by the end of the night lol.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Notice he never denies outright that weed was a factor. A gallon per city block. 15 minutes run time. Smoke billowing out. Sounds practical to me.

[@drkrypton4410]

Thanks Jay and all the guys who built this fantastic truck/plane.

Most eco friendly design ive ever seen before!

[@firstjohn3123]

But he did solve Jay's pesky mosquito problem. All safe from West Nile! 👍👍 I love stuff like this. Like my dad's tractor with a 327 chevy race engine...you could actually get a speeding ticket with it. Luckily-we only saw a cop about once a year when the new rookie got lost. (They probably wouldn't buy that 'slow-moving vehicle sign on the back at 55mph 😁 )
