This cutaway illustration of the Napier Deltic diesel engine by illegible, shows the triangular arrangement of the piston banks and the opposed-piston design.

G'day GB.
I had to look further https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Deltic
Youtube https://tinyurl.com/yeeat5v4 skip the 1st 2 minutes.
How can I fit one of those (even the little 9 cyl) into my Ford Ranger *????*
Cheers

In the mid 1950's my parents both worked in the offices at the West London Napier factory. I inherited a lovely static model of a Deltic engine. I'll take some photos......
