Interesting Ford 460 4 cylinder gas compressor
this is one of the interesting things ive came across workin in the oil field..this is a 460 ford motor that the left bank has been turned into a compressor..it sucks gas out of the well and compresses it down the flow line..as you can see the right side has 4 coils that fire it, it runs off natural gas and oddly has a edelbrock performer intake..ive seen about 4 or these now and they are all the same including with this intake
sorry for the poor quality as they were takin with my razr phone

From the vitage of the setup I would say it has been working for a while so someone figured something out buttt.... wouldnt the engine balance be way off by only firing one bank of cylinder, power too?
What kind of gas are you moving with it?

If you cut a cam for a 4 cylinder on a v8 stick than you could remove the valvetrain and vioala
