I know two guys, uh, outlaws, with Indians. O, breathtakingly beautiful machines. One says his engine is an S&S and the other, who has a newer Indian, says Indian is now manufacturing its own engines like the one on his'n. S&S makes H-D clone engines and has for some time now. I used to buy S&S stuff for my shovelheads because it was high quality and lasted. On the question of the H-D engine in an airplane, a friend came back from the Pietenpol fly-in at Brodhead, WI and said there was a beautiful airplane there with an Evo engine in it, but he neglected to determine if the prop is spinning at the crank's rpm. As you may know the aluminum Evo with steel liner combustion chamber runs at a significantly lower temperature than the shovelhead or panhead engines. It seems to me that you would need to turn the engine at higher rpm than the prop, though, to get effective takeoff horsepower. Then you would probably have a cooling problem unless you could really bathe the heads in great volumes of cool air. Sometime back I posted a link to a Harley engine used in an airplane. I haven't seen this whole thread but assume somebody has posted the link. I haven't ridden my old Panhead in a while. The last time I rode it, a truck just ahead dropped two 4 by 4's in front of me. Me 'n' ol' Panhead straddled one and hit the other at a quartering angle, nearly spilling us onto the asphalt and busting me butticks and spraining me low back. Howsomever, when the leaves git purty 'n' the Blue Ridge Parkway beckons. . .. |
