Bennetts Customs Co is a company in Australia specializes in custom hot rods and fabrication. For the past year the company has been building a special VW Bus called the “Radial Flyer” for a customer. In the back of the Bus is a 2.0 L 3-cylinder radial engine built by Radial Motion. The motor features a 99.0 mm bore, 86.5 mm stroke, Silverlight pistons, Eagle rods, billet 4340 crank, Kelford cams, and dry sump. To get the unique motor to fit, Bennetts Customs Co fabricated custom mounts and cradle. They also made a custom 3-into-6 stainless steel exhaust. In front of the motor is a Subarugears converted Subaru transmission. You can watch all the custom work put into the Bus in the build series here.
