I read about one in an auction. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the car that came with it. I think it would be wild in a street rod with exposed engine. Anybody know where to find one? What about just pics and info? (I'm also an avid model builder. I'd love to scratchbuild one for a desktop hot rod.)
 
Auburns, Cords, and Duesenburgs used Lycoming I8's. Massive and heavy.

Both my Fathers Auburns and his Cord have Lycoming I8's.
 
My Landlord has a genuine,1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster with the Lycoming engine & it's supercharger still intact. It's been in his family for 51 years. He also has some other Aurburns,Cords,along with some spare blocks,heads,ect. I'd hafta sit him down and and pick his brain to really get into specifics. When it comes to off-the-wall engines,he & his brother's are the guy'z you'd talk to :) . ~OO6.
