As previously said, the Meteor was a tank engine. They were either "flawed" engines that could not go into aircraft or engines recovered and rebuilt from damaged aircraft. As a tank engine they were naturally aspirated, regardless of if they were built as a Meteor or rebuilt from a Merlin which had superchargers. As per usual in the war effort, they were assembled in the Rover car factory!

In the USA many pulling Tractors use the Allison engine some of the later Allison's had two speed Superchargers and think Rolls Royce had that feature too. Both used Centrifugal vane superchargers not roots blowers like BM made for truck engines.. and heavy Equiptment engines..

Nice looking tractor and a good idea of the roots blowers on the Rolls.... first one I've seen "built" with roots blowers like that. However, I think you're headed for some catastrophic problems "down the road".... if not on your first pull on the hook and under load. 1) I Never would even consider utilizing a "jackshaft" for that application, 2) you definitely should have an "idler" pulley on your main drive belt from the crank, 3) I would never have those fuel lines situated the way that you do... especially in relation to the drive belt, and 4) you should really consider some kind of "guard shields" for all your belt drives... so that when they let go, you can keep the damage to a minimum.... at least, externally. The sanctioning body for your pulls must have pretty relaxed rules to even allow that setup. The idea is Great, but unfortunately... the execution of it... not so much. Why didn't you go with a coupled direct drive setup between your blowers which would eliminate the jackshaft and two belts?? I realize that you would have to have a new end plate cover custom made for the rear of the driven blower between the two blowers, as well as a shaft extension from the crank driven rotor to the coupler, but it probably wouldn't cost you much more than what you probably already have in your current setup with two unnecessary belts, idler pulleys & brackets, jackshaft & bearings and fabrication of the jackshaft pedestal..... and it would be a lot more sanitary setup, while reducing potential parts breakage by at least 50 percent. I would use an industrial flexible coupler... not a slip or chain & sprocket setup, due to the fact that you would have to have 100 percent Perfect alignment between the two blowers to use a Non-flexible coupler.... but a flexible coupler would allow for any possible, however slight... variance between the two blowers. Someone below here, in the comments, asked why you didn't use a coupler from a 16V71 (or, at least that's what they were referring to without naming it).... you cannot do that, that easily. In order to use the factory blower drive setup from a V16, you would have to acquire the actual blowers from a 16V71, because the "rear" blower (the one that is gear driven from the engine) has a special rotor and shaft setup in it, which extends through the forward endplate and coupling with the forward blower. Unless you can replicate that setup, the factory coupling will Not work on your 8V71 blowers. How many rpms and how much torque are the jackshaft bearings rated for? What is your ratio between the crankshaft speed and blowers?.... it appears that the gilmer drive pulleys on the jackshaft are slightly smaller than the driven pulley on the shaft from the crank pulley.... are they over-driven by 10 to 20 percent?? How are you oiling the drive end gears of the blowers?... or are they just "statically" lubed within the end-case, and not pressure lubed from the engine?? I assume that you had the rotor lobes "prepped" and sealed for use with the carbs (and the gasoline) on your draw-through system? Maybe it was the camera angles, but I did NOT see any "burst panels" built into the plenum boxes under the blowers..... if you don't have any - you Will regret not having them at some point... you "should" have Four (4)... one at each end of your plenum boxes.... but you can get away with One in each plenum... sometimes. I wish you well... and good luck with it. If it were me though, I would be doing some serious re-configuring of the setup, Before I would ever put it under load. It would be really sad to see all the hard work and money you put into it.... go "ka - boom" (as if that doesn't happen in any form of motor sports, already ; ). Longevity of the engine... is All in the most minute of details.... and you have some details, that need some "re-evaluating".

This is not a finished build. What you see in this vid is a brief test run. This means that not all shields were in place, the fuel lines not properly routed etc. Also, I did not build this machine so I can't answer all your questions. All I can say is that it has worked well this far. There are burst panels, and they work. Bearings are not rated for torque, but for radial/axial load and RPM. I have checked the numbers and they are indeed running a bit on the limits but it does not seem critical to me. Especially since each run is short so temperature should not be a big issue. Regarding super chargers; I don't know much about these to be honest. The chargers are however rebuilt for this particular purpose. I believe this was done in the US but I don't know much more. Regarding the belt drive, all parts for that one (belts, wheels etc) were selected by the manufacturer/agent of the drive components.

Good question about the gearbox. What's interesting is that the gearbox is an untouched original gearbox from the Volvo T470 Bison. The quality is quite impressive. The engine power has been increased from 73 hp to more than 1000 hp, and both gearbox and rear axle are working flawlessly for run after run. The clutch has been replaced however. The current one is some kind of centrifugal clutch with manual override, manufacture by someone in Finland.

You're not alone being perplexed about how these old tractors hold together. The base is a BM-Volvo T 470 Bison. These tractors had a 73 hp engine. The power output of this thing is probably around 1000-1200 hp (maybe more, no one knows). The engine is directly coupled to the original gearbox and rear axle! Just think about it; power has been increased by 15-20 times and the old gearbox and rear axle have no problems dealing with it. Another guy I know has a 38 L Transmash V12 diesel in the same tractor. No problem. Yet another friend did put the same transmash engine in a Fordson Super Major. That rear axle was split in two.
