Flat 8 ? I've seen pics of the Lind one, how about a running one here! Options

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?

So,a liquid cooled flat 8 is your quest,and you have a few spare Subaru 3.0 H6s laying around gathering dust.

This then is the plan,as before,a cut and weld operation.Such an effort requires the skills of talented welders and machinists.

(Mounting the two cases in an indexed position,the arm,with an air die-grinder and vee tool will cut the cases in an identical,mating method.
A weld prep and section that positions the two case ends longitudinally +/- 0.25mm,0.01",perfectly.A series of small tacking welds to stitch-weld the groove.
This is far superior than filling a 1/4" sawn gap and the greater shrinkage with it,this is a minimum weld volume,enabling a close control of distortion.
After all,you would want to make another after the first one,exactly the same,or a new improved weld groove.)

Titanium and inconel valves,as a twin turboed variant is,after all,so hot.The billet crank is the main ingredient,held by the lightweight rods.
None of this is cheap,and the effort would be wasted by a weak approach.A reliable fuel control is essential,so,no sneezing,and it won't burn a piston.
A shortstroke < 4L engine would hang together long enough to impress,using a welded crank and steel rods is about the lowest cost option,rev limited.

Now,what to put it in,a 914 roadster,as above,with the snorkel and wing.
