It has an original 6 cylinder Mercedes, 160 or 180 hp, and I think around 900 cu. in.

Turns very slowly! You can almost hear each piston going up and down very very cool!

Ubercool. What's the story with this one? Looks like the fellow built it in his barn. Where'd he come up with the original engine?

Sounds/looks awesome. Cutting edge of 1918. Pretty crazy to see it do its thing in 2011.
