If VW made a flat 8 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Brazilian Flat 8 I know, not a Type IV, I would think it would be close enough to a Type I to be done the same way? |

  Could do worse than by starting with these watercooled heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Keep it truebrand and not narp. A custom crank with 8 crankpins,and a crankcase to hold it all together. Some coated bores in a more staggered layout,to keep it newtech. Keeping the stroke real short and the bore oversquare a revver you would have. Definitely a lightweight rod+piston package,none of this is cheap. A Porsche 771 is unobtainium,so build a custom 8 to power your custom 914.  TT 914 2.1L-6 Something to aspire to,trying to keep up with those 917s and 962s.  6+2=8 The mother of invention. / A look at a million's value of -8,-12 Porsche engines. http://www.carbuildindex.com/23811/porsche...-and-recovered/ |

I'm a little partial to the 956 motor, water cooled heads with air cooled cylinders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ideally no water cooled anything....those radial motors are cool, great HP for the weight... |
