Yeah, each of us has his own "pet" engine size, whether it's in-the-flesh machines or just dreams. Here's one reason I can dream up a multitude of exciting projects limited to about 400 inches: Take a close look at what the Poteet & Main streamliner did at Bonneville last fall with a single 347 c.i. engine- a one-way run of 462 MPH, which is within ten MPH of the unlimited wheel-driven record!

I've always enjoyed Pontiac's "single V8 engine design of 287 - 455 c.i." since first messing with one in 1959.
