This is a motor from SAAB that never got made due to GM pulling its plug. This motor is basically 2 x 4Cyl 16valve motors that were mated together much like the W8 motor from VW. I wish i could get one of these for my 1986 SAAB!!!
http://www.saunalahti.fi/~rjh/V8cut3.jpgSisudiesel in Linnavuori (Finland) developed a V8-motor for Saab and made few testmotors.
Effect 300hp, max torque 300Nm, 4 camshafts, 32 valves.
At the same time GM became a partner and said that they have a new V6-engine and so was V8 buried.
Motor in the picture is in the Linnavuori factory museum.
