I stripped and updated the ancient electronics and stepper motors with readily available modern stuff. I have used these old machines for over 15 years to produce a number of engines and other projects. It could be true what they say about the sweetest music coming from the oldest violins.........Oh! I wish it were really that simple. Ha ha.
Im scratching my head here trying to figure this one out. Its a 1.5L V8?? Whats the bore and stroke of the engine, then what will the scale of the model be? Looking forward to seeing your progress

Looking forward to seeing your progress "The W165 racing car with it’s 1.5 litre V8 engine"And the title of the thread " Mercedes-Benz W165 Grand Prix engine in 1:3 scale"
the BRM team went even further and designed and built a 1.5 litre V16.
David,The BRM V16 revved to over 10,000 rpm and had a Rolls-Royce designed two-stage axial supercharger similar to the one from the Merlin aircraft engine (Spitfire and Mustang)
