Unreal on both counts Andrew!

Thanks for posting the links - two very sweet engines. One unobtainable - the other very achievable (so long as you can get hold of a manifold of course) !!!

They are super clear videos, and sound is great as well. That crossflow looks just like a crossflow, sounds sweet as 8) 8)
There's nothing as Sweet as a EK V8

The videos were shot in High Definition using a 15.1 megapixel Canon EOS 500D digital SLR camera. As you say, a very clear picture. Why would you bother buying a separate digital video camera nowadays?

I like the sound of Thommo's better than the cross flow, couldn't justify the cost of a cross flow, Trev 8) .
