Geared Drives FWF Engine Package for
Legendary P-51

Featuring the Geared Drives PSRU, this engine package was designed specifically for the FEW (Legendary) P-51 airframe. Powered by Chevrolet LS1 engine, this engine utilizes a custom set of headers designed to keep as much of the authentic look as possible by bringing the four exhaust ports off each cylinder head into a baffled collector, then bringing the six exhaust pipes out of the collector.  This effectively lengthens the exhaust and improves back pressure.

Contact Geared Drives for information on obtaining a FWF engine package for your specific P-51 airframe.

Belly radiators are not very effective for taxiing, so we added a radiator behind the engine that will assist in taxi cooling.
