Default Re: Over boring the 2.25 litre, or using a larger BMW unit?

Thanks for clearing things up about the Bristol version of the M328 engine.

The reference to the pre-war BMW M335 and its engine can be found in Chapter 5 of Christopher Balfour's book, however the footnotes come from the Frazer Nash Archives with the relevant section being from George White's 1946 report.

White himself emphasized this was not thought out in detail though wanted to show H.J Aldington that he was development minded, yet he did not reject H.J's plea for the larger engine it was just undermined by external influences ranging from government directives, tax increases, the challenges of the still connected aircraft side that all served to thwart the proposed timetable which included a 3-litre version of the M335 engine.
