Pretty impressive, but I can't see how it wouldn't split the crank in two when you put any kind of load to it...

V4 looks more interesting for Lemons. Uses 8 cylinder stuff for oiling and cooling and it shouldn't be stressed too hard. Seems like a great idea for endurance racing. Now where did I put that sawzall?

Better yet, what about a slant-3? Take a 3800, chop-ish it down the middle, then lemony profit!

Seriously though, we need to make a slant twelve.

With the firing order of a V-16 minus four cylinders rather than a traditional V-12 order, the builder thinks it "should be a wicked sounding V-12."

Is this going into a Lemons car?
