bobatl Posted July 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2016 Crates of Allison V-1710 engines at Page Airmotive in Yukon, Oklahoma in 1973. The Allisons were used to run pumps in the oil fields and were sometimes converted to run on natural gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatl Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted July 18, 2016 This P-38 just needed engines and a few minor parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted July 18, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2016 Oh my... Local dude tried one in a pulling tractor, but now the engine burns alcohol and sits in a 34 ford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifter Posted July 19, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 19, 2016 That's a bygone era when items like Allisons were stored outside in wooden shipping crates and a picked-over Lightning could be found on a back ramp. Sure hope most of those engines and that P-38 airframe ultimately made back into the wild-blue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
