I was thinking about how much money it was going to cost to do a valve job. But I guess it doesn't matter if you got the money to buy one of these.

It reminds me of these http://www.falconerengines.com/


Used in P51 airplane replicas, boats,

and of course the Falconer Corvette in the Museum, it took a lot of work to lengthen the front to accomodate it.

If this thing sounds anything like the BRM V16 engine, I want one.

I'll build something to put it in.

From the picture it appears to be four Yamaha R1 head and cylinder assemblies on a common block. Any good motorcycle shop should be able to do the valve job. $750/head or about $3000 for the set of 4 doesn't seem too bad.

Cheers,
