are you flying? them planes look so clean. hay how much hp that thing make

 

That's so sweet man, P51s were always one of my faves.

 

Got to have one with the wife included...LOL

 

Merlin engine(British) licensed to Allis-Chalmbers(for production in USA) around 1750 hp. Only thing in WW11 sounded better was British Lancaster heavy bomber....had four Merlins.

 

Bubba, you are correct sir...However, ours are heavily modified...Why stop at a 5.0?? LOL

 

1750hp not very streetable

 

Modified a Merlin! Afraid to ask, ahh... how much power does it make? Throttle full they went like 425-430 mph. Corsair(440mph) was only thing faster in US Army Air Corps.

 

You are really close...Good guess.....Highly modified supercharger....We are completing a Sea Furry for this years RENO air race....3800 Shaft HP

 

MAN, I have been trying to find one to do a photo shoot with along with my Steeda.

That is my favorite aircraft in the whole world! BEAUTIFUL!

Jack Roush owns several and I am local. A friend works for Roush and is trying to see if I can do it with on of his!

You are a very lucky man to get to fly one of those! I am so envious!!! I would even drive my Stang to Ill to shoot my Steeda next to one of those beauty's!!!

I am an Ex-Air Force photographer, but never had the money back then for my own Mustang (car) so never got the opportunity then either!!!

 

Are you doing any shows in Michigan this summer? Willow Run maybe????? I will do some free photography for you!!!

I am trying to get on th elist to go up in one for Thunder Over Michigan - at Willow Run Airport this August.

I need a cigarette now!! I am spent!!! I LOVE ALL THINGS MUSTANG!!! P-51 are the BEST!!!
