I'm a big fan of the old-school Jag sixes. Sure they have a habit of dropping oil at random intervals and they drink fuel like you wouldn't believe, but they're just cool. Plus they look like an older, bigger version of the 5M-GE. [Report message to a moderator]

Mmmmm ... 426 hemi - would love to own and play with one of them in a Charger. For DIY mechanics, you couldn't beat the old Holden red motors. Fixable with chewing gum, paper-clips, and rubber bands. Spare parts always available on the road-side. My old EK actually broke down one night ... right next to a burnt-out EH wreck - parts galor.

The Rolls Royce Merlin was in the Supermarine Spitfire plane and produced mighty Hp. I remeber also seeing one in a tractor (for the old tractor pull competition )when I was very young -I still remember the flames roaring out of the V12 exhaust(s). And the sound like nothing on earth.... But my favourite non-toyota enging would have to be the Datsun L-series motors in both 4 and 6 cyl configuration. I've owned a few and they have loads of character (and were some of the original fast jap cars). Also, piston rings aside they are built like a brick outhouse - I've seen an L18 with 300,000 Km's on the clock still have the factory hone marks in the bores. And still be the within the same tolerences as when made. It's just a shame the cars that carried them weren't so durable... [Updated on: Thu, 17 July 2003 00:47] [Report message to a moderator]

I heard it was a W16 but look at the exhaust manifolds it looks like a V16 to me.... a W16 should only be 4 cylinders long? and have 4 heads? I see 8 inline cylinders on the one bank - there are 8 exhausts ports there, unless each cylinder has two seperate exhaust ports? but if that were the case then there should be 6 more turbos? shrug [Report message to a moderator]

Each "bank" is actually a very narrow angle vee, so instead of all the cylinders being in a row they're staggered - just like a V8 except with no gap in between. They did an excellent job of making such a large engine so compact, but it's still a big mofo! [Report message to a moderator]
