Created a series of 4.6L engines.





From top to bottom:

1. Base variant. 1 camshaft per bank (SOHC) for reduced cost, 4 valves per cylinder, regular intake with 1 throttle body per cylinder bank, short cast iron exhaust headers, and heavy flywheel for smoothness and greater lifespan. Runs on regular unleaded fuel (87 AKI/91RON)

2. Mid-grade. 2 camshafts per bank (DOHC) for less friction, performance intake, tubular headers, slightly lighter flywheel, and slightly increased rev limit. Runs on premium unleaded fuel (91AKI/95RON)

3. Top-grade for now. DOHC, individual throttle body per cylinder, lightest flywheel, long tubular headers, higher rev limit. Runs on premium unleaded.

But... the 1st engine is DOHC on the pic.

looks single to me

Because he edited it after Kubboz replied

Ive manged 1000 hp and 850 Torque out of a V8 so far

What could be my most powerful engine so far.

how so? in total output or in power per liter?

Total output. I'm not going completely all-out here and making max displacement max power engines running on 100ROn fuel.

I've found up to a point that a single large diameter exhaust makes more power, until you run out of piping size. I only use duals if I'm going for stupid power (1200+hp), or trying to be really quiet (4 mufflers rather than 2).

My attempt at the Mercedes-Benz M113 engine as seen under the hood of the E430.
