Leif in Calif Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Very interesting piece! I don't know about $25K but I guess if your PT boat needs one..... It's not obvious from the pictures but it's a V12: https://uscrashboats.org/cpage.php?pt=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Were these built specifically for the PT boats or were they based on an earlier, car-designed V-12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 At 2,490 Cubic Inches, it would be one heck of an auto engine. There is some similarity to the Packard built Liberty of WWI (designed in conjunction with Elbert Hall of Hall-Scott) but it's basically a new design.
