Check this out - Air Cooled V8
The T603 project was begun in 1953, after the Czechoslovakian government issued the order for Tatra to design and build a car suitable for official
duties, to replace the Volgas and ZILs that were used after production T87 ceased the previous year. The car would have six seats and an engine
capacity of not more than 3.6 litres.
The heart of the new car was the newly developed 603 engine by Jiri Klos. A 2,545cc air-cooled V8, its specification was advanced; oversquare (75 x
72mm), with a single centre camshaft and hemispherical combustion chambers. The engine's first application was in the 4x4 T805, and in its 'military
spec' it developed 75 bhp, but it had also been used in some interesting Tatra competition cars, like the T601 Tatraplan Montecarlo and the T602 and
T607 sports racing cars. In the new T603 saloon, however, it produced 95 bhp.
at 5000 rpm.
For pics and info on other models from this manufacturer, check VW Copied? thread and you will see other models that look surprisingly like beetles
but actually pre-date the KDF Wagen!
Matt.

It always surprises me how keen people are to build V8s into just about anything.
BUS914, how good were the guzzi and drysdale? did they cut it as competition bikes? seems to me there'd be alot of moving parts to stuff up. That's
one of the reasons I really like rotors, the less that is there, the less that can go wrong.
