How about 1:1 ratio?????
It could be done.
Turbos and air inlet would have to be reconfigured.

if Banks is involved, it will be, as usual, grossly overpriced..

weight is VERY close to BB Chebby territory

needs a 1-1 drive.. at the very least a 1.36..

Not to take anything away from Banks, but IMCO is suppose to doing a package now. I saw a twin prototype in a cat. The engines were topped out at 4,000 and pretty substantial HP too. The drives were somewhere around 1:23 Speed was around 100 but they said fuel economy at cruise was incredible. The engines went back to IMCO and the guy wishes he had them to keep. They wouldn't let me take pictures, but at least I got to sell two props in the deal.

That sounds like they've taken this little experiment and gone further with the "package" development.
