STRAIGHT 8 ENGINE 3.5" BORE.

With reference to Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Jnr{Charles L. Jenner}10/G.24.3.38., we shall be interested to know the width of the intermediate bearings which it is possible to get on engine (B). We should also be interested to know if there is anything stopping us from getting the Studebaker water spacing on the high power engine which has been designed.
