The Most Complex and Powerful Engine of the Postwar Era
Called the Napier Nomad two-stroke H-24 diesel, we want one for an engine swap.
The Napier E124 Two-Stroke H-24 Diesel airplane engine was designed in the ‘30s.
The dual horizontally opposed engine displaced 75 liters and had 24 cylinders and a gas turbine.
It was superseded by the Nomad 1, which made half the horsepower of the H-24, with half the displacement: 3,000 hp from 12 cylinders.
There have been some wacky engine designs in the 125 or so years of “modern” internal combustion: rotaries, sleeve valves, various variable-compression engines, all of which made perfect sense to their designers at the time. Even among all those, however, you would be hard-pressed to find something more magnificently complex than the Napier E124 Two-Stroke H-24 Diesel airplane engine.
