If he ever wants to pass one on, I'll pay for the shipping. When I looked into snagging a surplus turbine to toss into my Roadrunner, the only way that I could get one was in pieces. The injector assembly alone cost $11,000! I could have bought a complete ready-to-run 10,000hp peroxide rocket for $10,000. That was over 20 years ago. It'd be even more fun to put one in my 4x4 El Camino, because I could hide it in the cap and drop the tailgate on lead-screws to fire it up. That 455 Olds motor has surprised more than a couple of idiots in 'sports cars', so I can only grin in delight at the concept of what something like a Pegasus would do to them.brewnog said:Sadly, he has to turn most of the stuff down due to having nowhere to keep it, and occasionally, problems arranging confidentiality agreements.
