It would probably fit but the turbine would be too large to spin well in the crossflow rev range. The ideal thing would be to remove the turbine half
and use a bike engine to spin the shaft, plenty of boost for the xflow then

Trust me, my engine's big but that's taking the pi**.
Wonder what kind of torque that bugger's got though...

I have seen one of those engines - its in the national railway museum in york.
Also, a similar 'boxer' engine was used , a piston at each end of the bore - in a commer van engine. An example I think is in either the coventry
museum of road transport, the the donnington collection - more likely the coventry one.

Chaps,
Just received latest drivel from Auto Express.
Item on Ford's new F350 Tonka
"a 6.0-litre 32-valve turbodiesel, thundering out 350bhp and 815Nm of torque"
How about that for a torque fig
