@Cain Prince Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Nice engines! I've heard the IO-720 in real life. Piper bolted it to their Comanche and while the resulting Comanche 400 was a missile, even at 1965 gas prices it was expensive to operate. Honourable mention to the W8 which manages to sound like a flat plane V8 and a straight 8 at the same time.
I'd definitely say my favourite is the Mercedes straight-8. It sounds glorious and its direct fuel injection and desmodromic valve control were spacecraft-like technology on the 50's. Oh, and BTW, it's not called the Fiat "8V", it's "Ottovu"... ;)
@@johncholmes643 The precise truth is that US spelling (usually) lacks the U. The rest of the English-speaking world has that U. In fact, not having the U is the older spelling, and used to be normal spelling in England. Unfortunately, speakers of US 'English' like to dis-allow the other nations' version of English. It's rather arrogant.
It's a shame that the straight 8 is a thing of the past. I would like to see that they make a comeback. They sound just phantastic. And this evinrude V8, i need one in my Trabant ... 😍
Wow! You have made plenty of videos with impressive and/or interesting engine selections, but the only way I can describe this is inspiring! Every single one of those examples flooded my imagination with the possibilities! Bravo!
Love your videos bro, been around since the beginning and they just get better with time.

Thanks for the videos I look forward too many many more!
As a kid in the 1960s I remember our village garage had the remains of a prewar Armstrong Siddley straight eight which had been used as a tow truck and abandoned when an AEC Matador made a better base for a crane after the war. I recall an impossibly long inlet manifold and a single updraft carburettor. I expect it was dog slow but pulled like a cart horse. It probably also had a drink problem.
If we are talking about boat engines, its hard to beat the sound of an old Mercury 2 stroke inline 6 "tower of power". Amazing sounding engine at full speed.
Blue Av Gas commonly known as smurf juice also has an octane rating around 150. I use it in all my trucks but only add half a gallon to the full tank because it burns so hot, its also used to clean valves due to the high temp it burns at. If too much is used it FRY O2 sensors quicker than you can blink.
1:05 that Volvo V8 can outbest the Hemi in idling symphony or if not outbest perhaps a cross-sword rivalry!! Always great to hear from Soviet treasury!! I am a mad romeo of their Tatra and Gaz ..i mean dang that chaika has some big balls of over 5K cc engine!!
@@Damien.D Waaaat, you are right... I never noticed that it's 60°. Okay, this changes the thing a bit. You may be right, but it's hard to tell: both engines have the 94.0 mm bore width, only the crankshaft throws are different (79.5 vs 96.0 mm). On the Wikipedia it says that the Volvo-Yamaha V8 block is also used in outboard industry... I take it back. Good point, Damien, thank you for heads-up!
@@VisioRacer No surprise. Different crankshaft throw is also how Volvo Penta extended displacement on the good old redblock car engine (from the 740/240) to 2.5l, uping hp to 150 (8V) or 170 (16v). Marine engine needs torque, to move all that water around the propeller.
@@VisioRacer Note that this 60° V8 is even firing thanks to a split-pinned crankshaft (a beautiful piece of machining on its own), but still also feature a balance shaft tucked in the middle of the Vee, at the center of mass of the engine... It's no wonder why Yamaha logo is made of three tuning fork intertwined.
I believe there was a Swedish race team putting an Evinrude/Johnson two stroke V-8 in an old Volvo Amazon for drag racing.

The Volkswagen W8 engine is my favorite v8 of all time . Powerful , sounds great and when either super or turbo charged they're like a gift from the heavens
Crossplane V8 all the way. You can keep your V10s & V12s, crossplane V8s are the best sound in the automotive world IMO. Flat plane V8s just sound like a busy inline 4 cylinder to me.
Most boats have a water pump that draws lake water to cool the motor (because why not, it makes pretty good sense) so when you run the motor out of the lake you have to put a special water hose fitting onto the water intake so that the engine stays cool
Unfortunately these interesting and extravagant layouts will necessarily become rarer with the ever-present regulations on emissions becoming yet tighter - and the understandable drive for economy...
There is not crossplane of flatplane differentiations in a flat engine. It is rather shared or split crankpins. This should be a boxer which means split crankpins.
I remember fighting with a guy when i said a cammed cross planr v8 sounds like a marine 2stroke v8 at idle. He then went on to state he works on Ford v8's for a living and that they don't...
It was his before someone decided to drive at the other lane on a curve. The damage to the offender was only the entire front left wheel assembly wrecked, while his was a total mess.
Yep, i know this Ruf. Question is: why Porsche engines are so heavy?? Specially when the mass of engine is critical in rear-engine car?? Such a high tech company...
The Chaika V-8 was just the thing, if you were an NKVD/KGB guy on the make. I wonder if Vladimir Putin has one in the official Russian state garage someplace
Boomer moment here: the grumble from a 350 smallblock, 4 bolt main with a Holley 750 carburetor at half choke at warmup startup gives me a raging erection. Yes, that was awfully specific.
I'm sorry, but a "Soviet muscle car" is a contradiction in terms. A muscle car was built to give high performance at a low price, so that any rando could afford something capable of outrunning Europe's best, at least in a straight line. The Chaika was a gigantic luxury sedan with a nothing-special (by decadent capitalist... sarc off... standards) engine, which the average prole was forbidden by law to buy (but could rent, for weddings and nothing else). That's more like the exact opposite of a muscle car. The only commonalities between the Chaika and a muscle car are its crossplane V8 and its cruddy build quality. Not to mention, it looks like the illegitimate lovechild of a 1956 Packard and a Checker cab, except I honestly think the Checker cab was a better muscle car (if I remember correctly, one year your could even get it with a 327 and a four-speed!) I really want to enjoy your videos, and most of the time I do, but like many Europeans, you really have no idea what a muscle car is and is not. Words mean things.
@@VisioRacer And...? Terms have meanings. You can't take something that was the exact philosophical opposite of a muscle car, and call it a muscle car just because it's an old car with a V8.
That Gulf-liveried Porsche 908/03 sounded absolutely savage, even more so than the Merc W196.
it gave me goosebumps
I had an eargasm🥰😂
I love them all but that Evinrude fuel injected 2 stroke outboard V8 sounds amazing!
2 strokes deliver a power pulse from each piston on every crank revolution .. the speed with which that motor builds revs is incredible.
My dad had a Evinrude two stroke V6 once. Sounded like a drag car when on ground. It was sick! Hearing the V8 was just even better
The burble of a crossplane 4 stoke v8 sounds great but evinrudes 2stoke v8 is a whole other animal. There are videos of a car a guy put one in and it sounds amazing.

There's a dude who put a evinrude in their tube chassis volvo Amazon!
it would twist the poor little Trabant like a pretzel :D
I got a straight 8 in my boat
Ich stimme dir in beiden punkten zu!
Crank too long :(
For me 2 stroke v8 is the most awesome because that's completely crazy to hear a engine which is v8 and it's 2 stroke
check out an 8v71 or 8v92 2-stroke Detroit. They either came blown or turbocharged and have a pretty nifty sound to them.
That W 196 Inline 8 is the most beautiful 8 cylinder I've ever heard.
That Yamaha outboard is exceptionally compact for a 350HP V8
It's a DOHC 5.3, I'm betting it just looks small on camera or is extremely oversquare or both
And it sounded great!
@Biggest Richard Cranium Yamaha did not copy the gm 5.3. The yamaha is a double overhead cam, the gm is a cam in block
With yics
Without a doubt, must be a illusion, 5.3 liter v8 and it looks like a old 2 cylinder outboard
The flat plane V8 is definitely one of the my favorites especially from RUF
No replacement for displacement💪🏼

The flat 8 from the Porsche 908 was my favorite.
It's a *flat-plane 4.6L V8* combined with an *electric motor* in the *Porsche 918,* not a *flat-8.*
Jose Carrillo II we’re talking about the 908, not 918.

I like the sound of the Flat-8 the most. It just sounds so raw and brutal
Can’t find one I don’t like. Thanks for again showing me some I haven’t seen before.
That Porsche flat 8 in the 908 race car sounds absolutely spectacular
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE japanese inline-4s on motorcycles, the sound is music to the ears and the reliability of Honda and Suzuki is legendary!
The boxer 8 from the 908 is the best sounding 8 cylinder, period.
At Watkins Glen 1969, one could hear a 904 rumble, a 906 scream and a 908 rumbling scream. Still remember that music in my advanced age today.
That Porsche flat 8 in the second video sounded great.
That Porsche 908 in the first of the two clips sounded the best!
I think flat plane 8s are awesome, great sound and no vibration super rare too

God, the sound of the Porsche flat 8!!
Blue Av Gas commonly known as smurf juice also has an octane rating around 150.

Always great to hear from Soviet treasury!! I am a mad romeo of their Tatra and Gaz ..i mean dang that chaika has some big balls of over 5K cc engine!!
The hell was wrong with that 8V, totally gutless!
Enjoyed the video as always man
Two 2BBL Carter carbs on the Chaika V8? Sweet. Pretty weird the way they're offset. I've never seen a design like that.
Check out the Chrysler Max Wedge engines from early 60’s Super Stock. They also feature offset dual quads on a crossram intake :)
The Gaz Chaika sounds perfect.
Thumbs up for the Porsche roadrace scenes 8:50+
3:33, isn't the outboard yamaha the marine version of the Volvo V8 of the XC90 / S80? I know it was sold as an outboard engine. Is it this one?
I wouldn't say so. This is a 60° unit while the automobile one is a regular 90° shaped V8
