rig it in as rear engine on an old caddy or similarly large platformed car, put some red lights behind that fan, and have a one-off batmobile.

Ya, I thought of that too, but I think with all that power I'd have to put "training wheels" on each side to keep it from laying over! Training wheels would not look cool..........................

I bought 3 of them, they came out of a WW2 landingcraft, and I love boats, so maybe....................

Maybe it would fit my project car. As you can see, no motor. I had thought about an older Rabbit Diesel engine for it, but your engine has more wow factor.

Not really some of the Boss Hoss motorcycles have 502's on them with about 500hp. You would be safe, just build up your forearms and HOLD ON!!!
