Yes I did, and was signed up.
Two guys built this motor, Julle & Lind, it had even been upgraded to a 4.6 ltr, they had upgraded to 101.6 mm P/C's.
The motor is currently in a 914, and had been taken up to 167 mph and it still was pulling, but engine temps were climbing, so he slowed it down.
This would be a wild project.

Indeed,lessee...$/Lb.:Porsche-8 versus Lind-built T4-8
The idea Lind+Julle could run that 8 with a welded crank I think is doubtful.
Having attracted worldwide attention,would they repeat the feat for a customer?

The Question is how did he do it at all.
Likely every 3rd person who saw it under construction
had doubts of success or even completion.
Point Made.

The Evolution of Design.
A Flat 8 built today may actually be superior in every way.
Definitely Expensive.
Well,There is 1 Factory 914-8.

There are two of them, the silver one that was built for the Dr. for his birthday, and the orange one built for Piech.

There were rumors of a third one that was built after-hours a number of years later, but those are unconfirmed....

I recalled an animation from a few yrs ago.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh7J8DSDZAg


edit:this animation shows the crank in an interspersed configuration.
a 4cyl crank in the middle,another split and joined at each end,hence the harmonics.
The successful 908 crank is 2 4cyl cranks joined at 90* angle.

Aircraft engines are not good candidates for car engines. They do not rev the same and the cams are meant to get power in a narrow band. Same is true for a converted corvair engine.

Oh Yeah.
The aircraft billet engine is for aircraft,that said,the idea that the average m/c shop
equipped with modern tools can crank out specials is valid.
I'm still hankering for the 4valve heads that Martin Bott developed for T4's
The Jabiru from Oz isn't the only fully cnc'd engine type.

Unrecognizable? "Fiero" was the first thing that went through my head when I looked at the picture...

UhHuh.
So it's true then,a leopard can't change it's spots.
But a V8 into a 914 or Fiero can enhance your power trip.
An entire aftermarket exists for your personal magic carpet.
Some parts not included.
Some assembly required.
The lowly Fieros and 914s made new and improved.

Flat 8 Porsche Engine
A mate is making a flat 8 engine for a replica 908. He has used two 2.7lt magnesium blocks that we wirecut at my work and has welded them together in a jig. First time he has welded mag and it is a steep learning curve with the pre heating/jigging and post stress relieving. Here are the photos of his second attempt. He still has 1mm of bend after welding but is making a different jig that will be stronger and keep the heat more stable (he was saying 5 mins after welding and it was cool enough to handle).
