This White covered one is MY FUCKING ENGINE that never been shipped by Jack Frost!
Did you pay for the engine?
Hola una pregunta. ¿Todavía se siguen vendiendo estos motores y cuanto saldría?
I don’t believe the company sells any of these engines. They have all sold their designs and tech to other companies. The only company that sells and lists their price still is http://www.synergypower.co.nz/ engine costs $43K.
nope, I know the designer. Correct he has sold the engine manufacturing rights to some of the engines, not all. The new engnes are stouter than the H1V8 he designed when I was working with him in 2001 to 2004
if you’ve got the $$$ contact Hartley Enterprises in wisconsin

Has anybody put one of the V8s in an airplane yet?
I have not seen or heard of any.
it ws a long time ago, but V8’s in a plane…not until it was certified
these engines were develioped near Hartford Wi by John Hartley of Hatel Enterprise…I worked for him at one time in an engineering firm.
He’s working a 4 cylinder and a new high liter “maxi” V8….prices are pretty historic, wish I could afford one. I’ll stick with my LS7 engined Z06…
I would like to see a H-8 Hayabusa boxer engine… the sound on the old 8 cylinder Porsche boxer was incredible.
Hi
I am intresting buy Hayabusa V8 engine second hand or only Hayabusa V8 engine block new or second hand.

Hi Jouni. I have never seen a used Hartley V8 for sale. I recommend contacting JFC Racing http://jfcracing.com/. They purchased the Hartely 3.0 L Bolt V8 design and are developing it.
