>>>There's nothing new under the sun.   18 years ago, Pantera guy and 
long-time Roush Racing wizard John (JC) Christian built the prototype engine for 
the Ford GT90 concept, by lopping two cylinders off the end of two 4.6 liter 
V8s and turning it into a killer, twin-turbo V12:

He's a pretty clever bunny!   He also designed and built the prototype 
Dodge Viper engine using similar techniques, by cutting apart and 
furnace-brazing together cast-iron Dodge V8 blocks and heads.
