    Pratt and Whitney V-Twin

    Allen Millyard built a 5 liter V-Twin out of two cylinders from a Pratt and Whitney 1340 radial, with handmade parts, casting the aluminum crankcase. Intended for a board track racer.


    SU carbs, too.

      Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

              Ya, Allen Millyard is a legend, he does insane things with bike engines.

              Here is a little 100cc twin he built out of a Honda SS 50cc



              You want to see what he does with Kawasaki triples.
