Are you talking about a Rolls Royce Merlin?
I was thinking packard v1650. Ive got an unused P51 laying around in the garage.
How much lift do you think I'll need to install that?
We'll have to see if Advance Adapters makes a kit for that application.

Who needs an adapter??? I was just going to clear the prop and use that. I will have no jaywalkers cut in front of me.
Besides, the library has a 3d printer, I'm sure I could print something that would work

Not practical is what we like. This past Thanksgiving, while in the DC area, I went to the Udvar-Hazy Center @ Dulles. One of DC's best kept secrets.
There they had "THE" Lycoming XR-7755. Wow ... 7755 Cubic inches!
That's just overkill. Go with something more conservative, like the R4360.
*Note: Visibility out of the front windshield may be an issue.

Turbines . . now we are talkin.
Late to the party!
I like the t-shirt idea. Talked to a man at a craft show years ago and he wanted to create a line of underwear called Skid Road that had stains and dirt in all the right places.

The first time I heard this I almost lost it completely as it was being told to me. Although it would be a niche market, I would bet the sales would be tremendous.

LOL The meme was referring to making the shirt
