Smallest V8 Engine

5.6 Cubic inches. Roots blower.

Vid of it running. When he revs it, it sounds like top fueler, but a bit quieter.

Hmmm, I wonder if that type of engine will find application in Powered Parachute or Ultra-light aircraft type birds!??!

That would be an expensive engine for a PPC. They put em in cars though.

Here's a vid of one in a Shelby Cobra. They run it during the last half of the film.

other than model purposes is there an engineering point?

seems like it's excessively complicated compared to a similar sized 2 or 4...

well everything was custom milled and made from scratch................thats not engineering? I wonder how many hours in CAD it took to make that!

that is manufacturing..

my question was aimed as is there a performance based reason for a 'tiny v8' (engineering) or is it simply a modeling experiment?

damnit!
that's the one I was looking for when I found the v-twin!


I'm very impressed with the machinist's skills...especially given these aren't youg'ins doing the milling!

you could have the baddest lawnmower on your block with that engine.......just throw it on your old toro and give it a custom flame paintjob.

...and you're in violation of your face!

You mean "design" or "draw" that?

To "make" that implies actually building it...
