Hold on lads, Ive got an idea...

[DJC]

Any of you fine people seen this week's Autocar? Oh you have? Excellent, then Im fairly sure you read a certain article and all had the same thought as me!

Namely, that is if Radical can join 2 Busa 175bhp engines to produce a 2.6ltr V8 shoving out 383bhp/207ft torque, then how about a 5.2ltr V16 shoving out 760BHP/400ft torque?

Now come on, dont tell me I was the only person thinking along those lines???

And then the 15,000 mile rebuild intervals will finally become official...

How about a 7.2 V12 around 700bhp from a coupling of existing tvr engines.
While you're at it you could change the chocolate finger followers...

Yes, that was kinda my point, joining the 2 V8 units together.

I started thinking about a X16 the other day, angling 2 V8's apart from each other like this...

Wonder if it could ever be done?

What exactly are finger followers? Is it some name that TVR have made up because the only time I ever hear them mentioned is when people are discussing a Speed 6. From discussions I assume they're part of the valve train or related to it. Valve guides or something like that?

I think 2 V8's has already been done it's
called a W16.
