Many of you remember the Feuling W3 engines produced by Jim Feuling, a few of which still survive and occasionally find their way into custom builds of one sort or another, but how many of you have heard of the Anzani built before 1910?

He began with an air cooled opposed twin but eventually took a Harley Davidson Knucklehead engine and installed water cooled cylinders. The result was an 89 cubic inch [...]
The combinations are endless, take a motorcycle engine, drop it into a car and off you go, like this 1923 Model T with a Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster engine for power. I’m guessing it has more horsepower than the original engine by a fair margin plus the unmistakable V-twin sound.
The Model T uses the Sportser’s [...]
