Perk engine for the Spit :)
« on: January 31, 2001, 12:49:00 PM »
I live on the Columbia River so I remember very well the roar of these babies on the water. THOSE WERE THUNDERBOATS! You could hear them 10 miles away easy!

Here are some spec's for the RR Griffon powered Miss Bud.

Did you guys look at that engine? It isn't a stock Griffon. I want the Miss Bud engine and the prop to match in a Spit.

JimDandy,
I read it before replying.  They stuck Shackleton Griffon engines into racing boats.

Thanks Karnak. Wouldn't that have made a bad bellybutton engine in a Spit. Ummmm 4,000hp Spit.

How about Allied planes running 150 octane fuel as a perk (or extra points if the plane is already perked and could run 150 octane)?

How about as a Perk I can get my crewchief to modify my P47-D-25 to allow 72 " of boost pressure like Johnson's plane and many others?  

You can have your steenkin' perk planes, let me "tune up" my Jug like they really did.
