do you have a reason for wanting to know this, or do you just want to?

The Smart Roadster B-Turbo is two regular smart engines put together to make a 1.4L V6 Bi-Turbo!
biggest engine i've seen in a car was a 27L V12 in a 57 chevy with 4000hp. the engine was out of a old fighter plane (i think the plane was a mustang ie like the ones in pearl harbour the movie)
and the smallest production V8 i know of is a rover/mg at 2.5L
Daimler also had 2.5 litre V8, furthermore there was the Fiat Otto-Vu. 1990 cc, but there must be smaller ones, just remember the 1957 V8 500 cc Moto Guzzi GP engine. (not production though )Originally Posted by eyebrows
Well, technically there were no Mustangs at Pearl Harbor..it didn't come out till a few years after that...but that's neither here nor there. If it was a P-51 Mustang engine in that Chevy, that's pretty amazing. The Rolls-Royce Merlin engines in the Mustangs only made about 2200 hp, and there were already supercharged, but I suppose it might possible with upgraded technology to get one up in the 4000 range.
the car was at summernats (an aussie car show) and i saw it in a mag with its shell off and the engine went throught the fire wall and into the front seat ... i'll try and get a photo of it to show u and the engeniring that went into it was pritty amazing because the fire wall was taken out they had to move everything around and chop and change things but the end result was pritty good. (just a warning the photo will be shit cos its out of an old magazine)
i know the car your talking about and whenever i think about it, i can never get the facts straight. i usually think its a 57 chev with the mustang engine, but its a 55 model something with the merlin engine im pretty sure, that is if its the car im thinking of which has been painted to look like theres pot-rivets all over the body.

Way back in the early 1900's Daimler or Mercedes had a 16 liter 4 cylinder. As for small V6's, Honda and others produced 1.5 Liter twin-turbocharged V6's in the '80s for F1 use.Originally Posted by cls12vg30

Well rod hadfield is the owner of castelmain rod shop (which incidently is for sale for those whohave a spare $750,000 lieing around) which no doubt wouldhavean engierrs athand hand and not to mention all the machiners and custom parts a person could want...but there are also restirctions on the car the biggest of which is the limited time it can be driven...that said it also gets trailerd around most of the place....the operative word is it CAN be street drivan not is.
1999 ford taurus SHO is a YAMAHA Built 235 horsepower 3.4 L DOHC V-8. Not a 3.8L!
Ford had a 221 ci flathead V8 which I'm pretty sure converts to about 3.6 Liter. It had up to 95 HP and I think last year in a car was 1942.
