I remember he posted some details about it in another thread. Cant remember which, but it is a turbine engine setup. He has a much larger photo which is really cool. Hopefully he will chime in.

the one pic of my Volvo B36 V8 was taken by me... not even sure where the guy found that pic- I don't recall ever posting it online...
I gotta wheel that engine out again this week and fire it up... I haven't run it in about 7 years

I meant to ask about that pic too. I love seeing skunk-works kind of pics. Now where's my turbine powered Stringer conversion kit?? :)

could you imagine seeing that in a magazine in the 60's and hearing about a possibility of a turbine powerplant....you'd feel like John Glenn in one of those
