Subject:      Tatra air cooled V8 conversion?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I met This wierd looking dude while he was looking at my westy in the health food store parking lot. He talked about how he was looking for a Westy to pull the wasser out and plant a Tatra air cooled v-8 in. I said "What about overheating?" He said No Problem, the Tatra v-8 exhaust pressure sucks in fresh air and directs it over engine Then he went on to tell me how the Germans stole ALL aircooled technology from the Czech's during WW2. Said Porsche, VW both stole designs from the Czech's

I looked up this Tatra V-8 87. What a cool looking sled! Why would anyone rip a motor out of one of these rare beauties?
