Jay Leno's garage - hasn't been blogged yet, but I'm sure it's in the cue because it's just way too cool

102 degree fires.
I wonder what lateral mount would do, feed the ring downdraft with injections..
all kinds of ideas.

take up the bed of a truck put it all in the back but a big oil cooler/fuel.. up front.
air down on some large diff, v-drive.. tranny.
bring temps of the whole drivetrain together.

clever backyard ideas.

I keep telling my wife that I need a wrecking yard in my back yard for this very reason. She's unconvinced.

Three months ago I'd never heard of a V drive. Now I've seen two trucks with one. Go figure.

V-drives are neat - I've owned a couple boats that were v-drive. stupid fast and don't require huge hp to be fast. Jets are fast out of the hole, v-drives are fast everywhere else.... they also drive more like a boat. the other down side of a jet is they take at least 30% of the engines power - so you need 600 hp to be as fast as a 400 hp boat. Their down side is they're are always in drive and you cannot shift them with the motor on (this has changed, but the old-school ones I had were that). Where that really becomes a pita is when you're trying to tow a skier and the skier isn't that experienced. with a jet you can put a bit of tension on the rope to straighten them out - not with a v-drive... the other down side is in Oregon/Washington there is a lot of stuff submerged just below the surface. With a jet, it's no big deal, with a v-drive it's a sinking experience.
