There was one at Donington that was 2 R1 blocks on a fabricated bottom end and crank, very expensive process.

yours, Pete.

Have a look here at the Cyclone V8 which is the one Pete probably saw at Donny, in a Quantum Extreme I think. As also mentioned tho, a bloody expensive way ofr propelling your car forwards - £15k for engine alone, then you need an appropriate gearbox etc!! I think Powertec are also developing one made from two Hayabusa top ends to fit in a Radical.
