8.4 Litre Cerb anyone?

[longbow]

Not wanting to get into the debate of the pros/cons of engine transplants, but the idea of an 8.4 Litre Cerb is somewhat appealing. If for no other reason it is precisely twice the size of the original!! Bit of a conversation stopper.... Also this engine is 600bhp straight out the box apparently. Shame a V10 won't fit else I'd be tempted.

Can you imagine the uproar I'd love to see it done.

Mod that engine bar near the front pulley and it would!

Get stuck in!

this makes SO MUCH SENSE. you'd have to be mental NOT TO.

[optimax sniffer]

Its only worth it if you put a supercharger on it and get it to a 1000bhp

Wasn't there a thread about someone wanting to do this a while ago and came to the conclusion it could not be done ?

And you would end up with the worst sounding Cerb in the world!
Those viper V10's sound awful i reckon.

SO SO SO wrong, they sound awesome in the flesh

Not wishing to be a pedant but (owning a 4.5) your comments about an 8.4 being 'precisely twice the size' doesn't quite fit...

Now, a 9.0L is something completely different

What a crazy idea...

indeed so crazy that it gets interesting again

Anyone volunteering?
