They put one of these in 7 Days To Die, with a set of 8 unmerged, unmuffled exhaust pipes instead of any sort of manifold. Sadly the audio in-game isn't quite up to snuff - they gave it the classic smooth and throaty Harley sound rather than these monsters here.

Too bad it, would make a strong hybrid. Light and powerful. They could take a smaller one with a small efficient carburetor. and put it in an engine compartment with a generator attached to it. Put an electric fan - just enough to keep it cool during idling in traffic. Then cut a hole in the hood and put a cowl on it to keep air moving across the heads when the car is moving. With a generator attached to it

@blastforyou Yeah, Yeah, and the VW beetle engine begin life as an aircraft engine, and found there way back to the air in kit foxes, and other small planes. I don't hear people whining about that. Pilots high on coke or drunk on their asses ain't a lot of fun either pal, but, it's happened. I fly, drive and ride a bike, it's all fun, it all requires your full, undistracted, unimpaired attention. Using these small radials on a big is different than a car V-8 how, exactly? The V-8 has more HP.

To bad those engines are about 100 times more unreliable than any motor bike engine ever. Rotec radials is a Australian company not to be confused with Rotax. They have had hundreds of failures in aircraft resulting in crashes and even death. but they do look and sound good when they are not blowing apart. They have plastic timing gears. No clue why they are still in business when such a unreliable aircraft engine.
