    The German engineers at Daimler Benz in the 1930's did this with their DB601 48 valve SOHC inverted V12 of 35 liters of displacement, used on the Messerschmitt BF-109 fighter plane and a few others.
    The BF-109 was a tailwheel single engine single seat airplane. Due to the tailwheel, the airplane sat at a nose up angle. The engineers at Daimler Benz inverted their V12 for two reasons:
    1. The oil pan was really just a cover over the bottom of the crankcase. This it was pretty much a flat plate. This served to lower the nose profile, making it easier for the pilot to see over the nose of the plane. The propellor reduction gear was a planetary arrangement, since this mounting put the output shaft higher up.
    2. This design allowed the heads and all the assorted intakes, fuel injectors, plumbing, and wiring to be serviced by a man standing on the ground under the engine. The British Rolls Royce Merlin was also a V12, but it was upright and servicing the engine required a scaffold or ladders. The upright cylinder heads made the nose that much higher up, reducing visibility, especially when taxiing. The reduction gear used upright gears, adding weight versus a planetary gear arrangement.
    -The only real negative about this is that when the engine is shut off, over time oil tends to drip downward due to gravity and collect in the low mounted cylinder heads. This can in extreme cases cause hydraulic lock. Radial engines have this problem, and it is normal to turn the propellor over a few "blades" by HAND in order to make sure that this is not occuring. If a strong resistance is suddenly felt, it is best to remove all the lower spark plugs and turn it over again.
    No automobile has been built like this, since there is no practical reason to do it this way, but dry sump lubrication via scavenge and then oil tank pumps are common on Porsche cars, and race cars generally do it this way. In this particular situation, he has the light on all the time because the electric pumps are just not enough, and in most engines, oil flow to the camshaft area is not very high. An engine that is inverted needs the oil system to be designed in a specific way to be inverted as a result. Many light aircraft engines have the "AE" prefix to their official FAA designation to denote aerobatic oil and fuel preparation, such as the Cessna 152 Aerobat, that used the AEO-235 four cylinder engine.
    Great video!

      @@AnalogDude_ Some radial engines had valves that could be opened while the engine was turned over by hand to remove accumulated oil. If you watch a video about an old airplane with radial engines starting up, you will see a ton of blue smoke when it starts. This is the oil that has seeped into the lowest combustion chambers being burned off.

      A major problem that they had with the DB601 aero engine was the plugs fouling, one bank more than the other as the rotation of the crankshaft tended to throw the oil on that bank thus exacerbating the oiling problem. Evidently the ignition timing on the engine could be retarded to help burn the plugs clean, saw the control switches for that in an Me110 twin cockpit photo.

      Something like this was tried with bicycles in the first half of the 1900s. Google "Early Motorized European Bicycles" and there will probably be a photo or two, looks about as silly as you'd imagine. I once attempted to create something similar and it handled about as well as you'd expect, but mostly the trailer wheel just tried to shred its tire and starting it was a pain due to a lack of weight, ergo lack of grip, needed to bump it. Easy to see why the side mounted auto-wheel design proved more popular.
      With a car I can only guess that it would handle about the same as when your trailer decides it wants to try and overtake the vehicle it's attached to, provided it had enough weight on the trailer. When accelerating, it would take weight off the car's rear tires and make things rather squirmy, though maybe with low enough power (or massively riding the clutch) it could work. One thing worth considering is that reversing an articulated vehicle is something of an art form and you'd be near enough doing that all the time here, but going forwards and with the steering wheels being on the 'trailer' (the car) rather than the tractor (the trailer with an engine bolted onto it).
      For added entertainment, use it on ice or put plastic tubing over the tires and drive on a slight gradient.

    right away i can say the carb won't work upside down. (unless is don't use a normal float bowl- or you use propane or some other gas as fuel) and if you plan on putting any oil in it, it will drown out the pistons from underneath. and have the pistons drowned won't allow them to move as fast as they would need to be moving. maybe put less oil so it only fills the valve covers, also, the oil pump won't even be able to suck any oil, unless you make up a new tube that goes down to the valve covers. they will also be full of oil. will be interested to see what happens...

    I wonder if the original designer of the Lada or group of designers is still alive. I would love to see their reactions to what all these guys have done to these cars

    In radial engines, some of the cylinders are upside-down.
    They have been around for over 100 years

    It's upside-down oil will drain into the cylinders past the rings. Put straight 50w or 90w maybe 5w50

    To start? Yes of course. To run or a while without self-destructing? Ahh there's the rub. The Daimler-Benz 600 series engines are fun to look at if you want to see ones designed that way. Lots of upside-down airplane engine designs, to help keep the axis of the propeller near the top of the plane

    it will probably stop at some some point. the oil pump is pumping in most cases by one channel up and then gravity distributes oil. if there is a proper seal in pump connection. it defenetly should not be.

    I hate to be "that guy" but please be careful exposing the drive shaft like this. At least put some sheet metal between the drivers seat. All it takes is one little mistake to become part of every machine shop's lathe accident nightmare, even if it isn't spinning super fast. Not to mention if anything goes wrong while sitting next to it. That's that's far less likely but it's just not worth it the risk. It would take those guys like 30 min to make and tack weld a janky cover for that thing.

    Look at the Mercedes DB 600 Engines, they were "upside down" too. The difference they were made to be that way so it wont hydrolock.

    There's no reason am engine wouldn't run upside down. You would need better oil drainage to the valve covers, which are now the oil pans, and use a dry sump scavenging oil pump with a reservoir and full pressure lubrication. Many airplane engines of WWII had cylinders below the crankshaft, like radials, Junkers Jumo, and inverted V's. To prevent oil from flooding cylinders through valve guides or other means, you have to keep oil from pooling inside the engine.

    Fill it up with Lucas Oil stabilizer, perfect for this use-case.

    Take it to get an oil change at a shop with the upside down engine and see how they react.

    How about a rotated transmission : the output shaft is driven by the engine while the inputshaft drives the differential.
