[HELP] V8 with 90° bank angle

[AkiyamaWataru]

Hello for a project I'm lookibg for concepts to solve some problems. One particular problem I have is building a V8. Fir the project I want to build a Cosworth DFV engine. It has a bank angle of 90°. The standard lego parts have an angle of 120° and when I want to use pure lego I'm out off ideas how to solve this. The none lego approach is doing the 'efferman' and construct your parts fir 3d printing but I'd like to solve this with pure lego.

Thanks fir the help.

Just build a normal L shaped engine casing and than tilit it 45° I can try cooking something up in LDD.

UPDATE:

Here's a quicky made in LDD. The 12 studded axles keep the engine leveled:

I tested this approach and the piston parts did collide at an angle of somewhere around 100 to 95°

In your construction you use an offswt interresting.

The small ones with ball joints or what?

Do you mean the conrods? Yes i tested it with them.

I forgott some information the dfv will be a structural assembly as in real F1 cars
