Plymouth 65
I'll be in the shop
He's not going to set any land speed records with that thing. He may barely be able to reach the speed limit on a side street! I like everything but the power plant. 65'
It's something you don't see every day.
Cool novelty. I'd love to have a smaller version of the engine to tinker with. Man cave kinda thing.

That is so cool! 6 hp, who would think it would even move? I like it.
Yep, a novel idea. The thing only has 6 horse but probably 300 #/ft of torque.
What do you think gentleman, a good swap for the Dart. Weight is about the same as a short block, but only 1 1/2 hp....
I just found this. The tangent force at a 2 foot diameter pulley or the lbs of "pull" at 1 foot radius (or ft-lb) = 5254 (hp)/ RPM... So a 10 hp old engine operating at 150 rpm produces a steady torque of 350 ft lb. Of course, the operating characteristics of engines vary, as you load them, the rpm drops and the torque may keep up to maintain the rpm. This formula is only approximate, based upon pure mathematics.
Dicer, I think the Dart needs it's small-block but I could have a couple of adult beverages and watch that 1 1/2 run.
