Might need a few mods to get it in. But the ad says it will fit in a Luton type van. That would make one fast van.

Yeh- and how long would you be at the petrol station?
1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour.....
but then a 25,480 litre engine isn't going to do that many miles per gallon...
Do you reckon if you put it in a car it would have to pay the new higher road tax???

Imagine taking the cylinder head down to your local garage and saying, can you skim this head for me.

Yes it will
sorry no pictures but look towards the bottom of the text
"DAX OPEN DAY ~ Good Friday 6 April 2007 10.00AM – 4.00PM
DAX drivers from all over the UK - and from even further a field - are being invited to visit the marques Harlow, Essex factory for the Easter Open

On show will be the DAX Tojeiro De Dion demonstrator (with 8.0ltr Big Block Chevy engine), A 427 DAX, NOW WITH THE NEW OPTION OF POWER STEERING, along
with the show De Dion Rolling Chassis. Also on show will be the various DAX Rush demonstrators, & R1 DAX RUSH MC. Along with cars in different

But the turbine in the DAX is quite small compared to that one! And he may have cheated a little bit and used an already SVA'd chassis. Should
still be quite a ride though.
