I was doing some reading about the Mustang aircraft in WW2 and found about that they had V12 engines with 1000 to 2000 horsepower. But modern aerobatic aircraft only have around 300 to 500 horsepower. I was wondering if it would be possible to build a custom aircraft with 2 supercharged Corvette engines (around 700 to 800 horsepower each) and found this post on aviation stack exchange.

Fun read. A friend has a few airplanes and said they cost about $30k-50k to overhaul the engines every 2,000 to 3,000 flight hours. The FAA considers it a minor repair.

A car can go 200k-500k+ miles and the engine rebuild is about $3k-$5k or $1000 in parts and DIY.
