Not a radial with that exhaust header, but an inline. Looking up SE5 Biplane, it's a 150 hp (112 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8, a V8 engine. Lots of info available about the plane, including plans! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_A..._Factory_S.E.5

Thats correct Roger. For anybody who thinking working with wood can be fun your right when making a camp fire ! Its fun but at times can be verrry frustrating when your trying to keep the cuts to within .010" along with multi angle cuts. Its not like I can put very piece on the mill and use the DRO . Biggest problem is making All of the wood contact All of the metal. The bolts are only there to hold the wood in place not to hold the tension/pressure. I'll get a picture of the engine were using and post it, its interesting. I'll keep the post going as more developments occur since you guys seem to like it.

As for my truck I sanded a bit more on the roof and gave it another coat of epoxy, had lots of bare metal showing.
