Aero engine in truck/buggy?

[Keffson]

I just found a huge engine that I think used to be in an aero. I looked at some pictures of engines and it looks likes the pictures of the aero engines. I don't know the size of the engine, but it is way bigger than my .18 that is in my car. It is made by K&B and on their web site it looks like some of the .40 and .46 engines but not exactly. Long story short can I build a rig around this engine that will be a buggy or truck. If so can I get some pointers or some info on how and the best way.:whhooo:

You're better off using a buggy engine. An airplane engine simply does not have the cooling head surface needed, as the prop blows air over the engine to cool it.

Also, I believe those engines are a much lower RPM. Quite a bit of torque, but low peak RPM's, like less than half of what the smaller engines crank out.

Between the low RPM's and no cooling head, she'd cook for sure.
