Default How about this bit of engineering?

Might not sound like a RR Merlin any more, but I thought you might enjoy this pic of Lucky Keizer's 5 litre V Twin.

Frame: One off construction using engine as stressed member.
Wheels:Front: Suzuki GS1100G.
Back: Big drag slick.

Carburetion: 2 x 1000cfm 4 Barrel Rochesters .
