21.5 liters, ha, get the load of the 28.3 liter 1911 Fiat S76;

^^ That is a beast.

Would love to hear it (and feel it) running!

It was actually nicknamed "The beast of Turin", each pot was more than 7 liters, 300 Hp going 116 mph!

Think about it.

This is a stripdown vid of the 250cc 6 cyl I posted earlier.. have a look through it, some awesome engineering in a 1966 engine!

the crankshaft had much smaller journals and slimmer conrods towards its ends (roller bearing of course)

the 5 cyl 125 cc machine had a 2cyl crank (from the 50cc twin) coupled to a 3 cyl type crank
with 5 seperate exhaust pipes there was no great need for equal firing intervals

Another of Guy Negre's creations, heaven knows what this was intended for?

Looks a bit like the Napier Cub - the world's first 1000hp aero engine.

Napier Dagger



Similar weight to a Merlin, similar power to a Peregrine.

16.8l, 4200rpm peak engine speed.

Having looked at X's engine pic again, I see that it has twin cranks.

Which makes it more like the V-3420.

Long since forgotten V12 engines;

1974 British Racing Motors





1989 Isuzu



1972 Ford Weslake

you just have to love that Lucas pre-engaged starter motor(on the BRM) all Mini ,Triumph and MG owners have learned to love over the years ....keep your fingers crossed it will start once more....on a wing and a prayer..never knew this was Formula 1 technology....

How about the Big Blow.
Union Pacific GTELs

Basically a power plant mounted inside of a few train cars plus and extra for the fuel. There are only two remaining one is near my house. They were turbine powered Locomotive engines burning bunker oil.
