I know they made various very small displacement racing engines in the 1960s. Not sure about the V8. The V12 was 1.5 liters.

You guys keep going to racing autos.
yes, some really wacky stuff has been made for racing. The honda 'oval' cylinder is one terrific idea but I think you'd need a pair of 'em in an opposed or 'vee' configuration for balance.
But for production autos? That Buick / Rover V-8 is the smallest I know of right off hand.
Too much is never enough
Daimler 250.With a 2.5L V8 which the designer based on a Cadillac V8 which he shrank down until it would fit Triumph motorbike heads.
BMW offered a all alloy 2.6L V8 in their 502 from 1954.

What a dog of an engine!
The 4 cyl Dolemite Sprint engine was already a nightmare. What could go wrong by mating two together into a V8?
Cheers,
