SOLD. SOLD. SOLD...
Offering this piston with Voodoo Race 5, Matt Jackson, Bob Hannah markings on it. It's 5.25 inches in diameter, silver in color, with the words I believe to be: "Blown up by Matt Jackson, Voodoo #5, Bob Hannah" and looks like Bob Hannah signed it also.
You can compare it to another piston that I photo'd months ago (which I never acquired) and it appears to be the same 5.25" diameter. Pictures of the two pistons here:
I googled Bob Hannah's autograph and the signature on the piston looks like Bobs autograph on this poster shown here: http://www.motocrossgiant.com/PhotoD...H701PSPictures here:
I was told by a viewer from this forum that it is from a Packard V1650-9 motor, here is what he said about it:
"Packard V1650-9 is what they call a "100 Series" engine as the internal oiling system is what they call end fed. The -9 was the latest engine in production that Packard built. The -9 is the engine that was used in the P-51H as well as the same basic engine layout with a few changes was used in the Merlin powered P-82's. In the P-82's they were V1650-23/25, one RH prop rotation & one LH prop rotation. The -9 parts are used in the build up of race engine's by some of us, all the Allison rod engines I've built incorporate a lot of -9 parts in them. The piston in the pics is a stock unit for a -9 Packard engine, unmodified. In VooDoo there have been -9 parts used, but I suspect whatever flavor of piston had been used in those engines would've been modified for a differant ring package."
