The Millers will sound different but there just isn't anything ever created that I know about yet like them. 1113 ci, that's 70ci each cylinder! It's just all the oddities together in one package. Big horsepower, big cubes, over head valves, high rpm, and 2' long straight pipes. Does anyone know of any other engines worldwide this big and 16 cylinders with gasoline? The only thing I could find over the last two months of searching is this Chrysler IV-2220. Bigger but still not the same rpm range as the Millers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_IV-2220 Lot number Z851 under memorabilia, http://www.mecum.com

This auction will offer over 2000 vehicles which is a new world record for collector cars at one event. And we have every intention of starting at least one of those Miller engines at the auction. It has been 80+ years since anyone has heard them actually in the boat running. Not sure if this link will work for everyone but, if the Millers sound anything like this BRM..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IrBTtbCAB4 If you decide to attend you will be participating in History!

Seems a bottle of Benedryl in a milkshake would be cheaper and keep them quiet for the day.
