| Cessna Skylane - From Hemmings Motor News, an Oldsmobile advertisement for the 1964 Oldsmobile with the Jetfire Rocket V-8 engine which was installed in this Cessna. - Kent Vandenberg |
The whole story can be found here. The link goes to a PDF of an article by Roger Huntington that was published in Car Life. It's a fascinating account of what went into this engine installation. Learned things I didn't know, like hydraulically controlled propellers need 275 PSI of oil to operate, a V-8 engine gives off 6,000 BTU of heat per minute, and some people know how to make gears.
