The Miller 8 cyl. supercharged engines designed by Leo Goosen were a thing if beauty.

Boy does that look familiar. It’s a Job Rated (‘39 to ‘47) Dodge truck, 217ci, 90 hp flathead six.

Aaaack! Not one of Audi's best design moments. S4 V8 (which captures all the timing chains between the engine block and the transmission), correct?

I need to show this picture when someone tells me about the insane complexity of the Voltec system.

I know it is expensive, and since I would have to ask, I can't afford it. But I just wonder what the ballpark cost is to rebuild that engine. My 3.2 liter 6 cylinder engine cost a hefty chunk. I am guessing it is more than twice the cost of a 911 engine. Just curious.

I'm guessing it is twice the cost of a 911, not just the engine. :)

Just when we thought we’ve seen everything done to classic Porsches, famous McLaren specialist Lanzante announces the production of a Porsche 930 Turbo fitted with real TAG F1 V6 engines. And we mean real ex-F1 race engines.

For years, there was this legend talking about McLaren fitting a Porsche 911 with the TAG Turbo F1 engine that later powered its F1 cars between 1984 and 1987. McLaren eventually showcased that car at its factory a few years ago, confirming the legend.

Fast forward to today, when Lanzante announced in an Instagram post that they got permission from McLaren Racing to build a further 11 cars, each with a TAG F1 engine that has actually raced in F1. Now imagine being able to say that your car is powered by an engine that has won an F1 race. It is simply insane.

.........rev-counter that has ‘TAG Turbo’ written on it and features a redline at 9,000rpm.

Oh, an a water temperature gauge as well.

TAG’s twin-turbo TTE P01 1.5-liter V6 engine was able to deliver over 1,000hp in qualifying spec according to some reports, but we still don’t know what kind of power it will make when nestled into the 911’s bottom or if the cars are going to be legal for road use. We reached out to Lanzante and we’ll update once we hear from them.

I wonder what sounds this little beast makes.

BMW’s S70/1, a 600-hp 6.1-liter, DOHC V-12. It was developed specifically for a one-off M8 prototype derived from the E31 8 Series of the early 1990s.

Here is a link to the 917 engine Carl Thompson had put together for the 917 he built from the frame that was found loooooooong after it was displayed in an auto show in Switzerland or somewhere close. There is a complete build up of the whole car on another site. I was lucky enough to be at Willow Springs when it was test run for the first time in it's life.

Sets of images like this make a great background for some music by Enya or other relaxing music and have a two or three hour slide show.
