I'm considering powering a homebuilt airplane with a Ford V-8 Flathead

Here are the poll results as of Monday morning...

Of the 40 total pollers, half thought my idea might just work. I appreciate your optimism.

Another 14 thought that I'm crazy and 7 thought my idea is dumb. There is a distinct possibility that these guys are right but in my mind, the DUMBEST thing for me to do would be to launch into such a project WITHOUT asking other's opinions.

It's nice to note that not a single person (so far) said that my idea can't be done. While there is also the possibility that this will turn out to be the correct answer after all is said and done, it's nice to know that there are no know-it-alls forcing their opinion on us (unlike most other internet forums!)

However, the 2 who chose "no comment" are probably the smartest of the lot.

Thanks for all of your inputs so far. Keep 'em coming!

Harvey
