wouldn't the engine be pretty apt to twisting and flexing? One of my dad's friends has a packard collection, they are pretty cool cars. 1/16/2007 3:27:53 PM |

That's one of the big reasons they don't build them anymore. That and the very low natural frequency and harmonics of a crankshaft that long. Hit resonance and shatter the crank and pound out the bearing saddles.
What do you think killed the early runs of the E46 M3 cranks? HARMONICS. 1/16/2007 5:16:00 PM |

an old man told me once about a guy who ran a frick sawmill with a Buick straight 8. He said he had a foot throttle rigged up so he could rev it up right before the carriage got to the blade since car motors don't have governors. 1/16/2007 8:18:04 PM |
