All but the end cylinders use twin plugs too. What are the power specs on that?

Less brakes, more gas!

That does not make any sense...

+1 as to me it looks like there are 16 wires going in to 9 different plug locations on the side of that beast. Just like a twin plug 6 looks like is has a single plug on the ends of covers.

Hey I think that might be the 16 Zylinder 917 spyder. "Porsche 917 the Winning Formula" by Peter Morgan mentions that the later turbocharged motor underwent a difficult development, but the flat 12 saw flash horsepower figures of more than 1,500 hp, and he describes the grinning test engineers as coyly "half petrified, half elated".

Think I can shoe horn that into my 914?

Of course! It was designed for mid-engine configuration. It looks like the they have one in the spyder and one on a stand, so one for you and one for me. I saw the engine in person at the factory museum many years ago.

One can dream of driving something like that with a 16 cylinder engine in it...
