Twin turbos should do the trick. Or a Procharger !Derek, if you had bought a C5 you could have experience this for yourself.![]()
Pump and "pill" holder look familiar but not the stacks. Perhaps Enderly? Good guess on Hilborn's nationality. Here is Google explanation:Not sure if that is a Hilborn Injection system but did you know that Stewart HIlborn, of fuel injection technology, was Canadian? Lived most of his life in America but we are claiming him as our own. (maybe Edmonton, but for sure Western Canada).
Pics of his streamliner, broke the 150 mile per hour barrier.

Yes. Pretty cool adaptation on the part of the original builders. Light, aerodynamic and cheap. Perfect combination.^^^Many of those racers were constructed from auxiliary fuel tanks from WW2 aircraft.^^^
Not that cheap anymore. Or at least they weren't years ago. When DND airbase shut down outside of Penhold AB. in about 95, Buffalo Joe McBryan bought pretty much everything they left there and/or was given the rest. He had about 30 of those aviation tanks off of Military aircraft. I tried to buy some from him to build a floating wharf back then and I almost had heart failure at the price he wanted, knowing he paid dirt cheap. He has, or use to have a huge collection of military items in his hanger here and either wouldn't sell or wanted outrageous prices for it. A neat guy though with a lot of interesting stories about his and Buffalo Air history. End of story.Yes. Pretty cool adaptation on the part of the original builders. Light, aerodynamic and cheap.

They would have been cheap when they were first conceived of but once guys like Joe saw the value of them, not being made anymore, they snapped them all up. Joe has an amazing array of vintage things. Just look at his aircraft which are still in service. I have only met him a couple of times but know enough to say that he is pretty amazing in what he has done over the years. They don’t make em like him often anymore.Not that cheap anymore.
