Default RE: if your glow engine was in your car

So those engines burn roughly 8 ounces in at most 10 minutes. Taking that up to your 350 cu in rounds out to around 250 gallons per hour. At $20 per gallon (it's been a while since I bought fuel) that works out to $5000 per hour to run that engine. I'll stick with gas.

Thanks,
Bob

Well obviously it would go through fuel quickly. And IF you could directly correlate the horse power, that would be something. Say the average muscle car has 350 cubic inches and say for example it made as much power per cubic inch as an OS 91 VR DF engine (4.8 HP) then you would have 1846 non supercharged horse power. Remember guys, I said IF.

Or take the silly thought farther, a CMB .45 gear drive marine engine that's Dave Marles modified, rated 5.4 hp then that muscle car would make 4200 hp[X(]
