why hasn't anyone made a small displacement straight 8 , high rev engine, like by putting two motorcycle blocks together

Because a straight-6 is balanced without having to do any special bullshit, and you can get a v8 if you want 8 cylinders.

With a crankshaft that long it gets more difficult to manage twisty forces. It's neat, but I6 is a better sense of compromises.
Jason Lopez
Straight sixes already have inherent balance, at which point there's no use in adding to the bank, only to add entire banks. The next logical step are the V12 and maybe someday again the W18 (in the past only in airplanes, but a Ferrari prototype caused the F1 management to ban engines with more than 12 cylinders in 1972).

why not just make a straight 16 and shove it in a Cadillac
Carter Watson
You really think they would do that? Make an I16 and shove it in a Cadillac?
