I was thinking of locking the clutch-fan and seeing how this set-up would do in a kit plane. Maybe some kind of gear reduction for the prop to take advantage of the torque this motor can give.
Just kidding, but I don't know what it is, as I also got a HP 5.7 vortec to put in my truck with 156k on it , yet the truck still has great compression and no oil burn, something's wrong with me!
Thanks for entertaining the post and I'll let you know how it is when I get it in a week and a half or so.
Thanks, adam
