Found the Cadillac, but it looks a little too nice to grab the engine from.

1930 Cadillac V-16

Just a theory,  but I think the Cadillac v16 might not quite turn like the 1.5liter supercharged BRM.  Still amazed that in the 60's they made over 500 horses out of a smaller motor displacement than most Harleys.

Chances are someone in my long expired family worked on that V16 Cadillac. That was what they were known for working on and restoring. 

I would really look for a Marmon motor to rebuild, they are out there not in cars and they have much less value then the rest of the V16's that are running around. There are at least two people that make V16 motors out of small block chevys as well right now.

Channel your inner Allen Millyard and buy a half-dozen or so of the same engines from a Japanese 400cc inline four motorcycle? Chop them up, weld them together, and end up with a V-16 in the right displacement ballpark. wink laugh

I can't even get caught up to paint my upstairs hallway much less weld 4 motorcycle engines together.

The BRM has been my ring tone for a few years now.

Really? What the hell would a Marmon engine be in? Old firetruck?
