Whoever made that is sick in the head in the best kind of way. I really wish I hadn't seen this post though. A friend of mine (who happens to be a motorcycle racer from the good old days) has a cylinder jug off some large radial engine; I think it's a P&W Twin Wasp. Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to figure out how to build a hellacious thumper with that cylinder...

Lock Baker.

the top end is off a vintage airplane engine...
you'd have to get the details from him. mated to a modified evo bottom end. pistons we're pretty big, kind of short stroke if I remember correctly. custom flywheels and rods.

got to see it in progress earlier this year, pretty awesome
