One thing disturbed me a little bit: It is almost impossible to implement large engines in a chassis as the game tells me that i have no chassis long enough. With a 5500 mm chassis (extremly long) there will only fit about a 6 litre engine. But I early days we had engines something strange as 8 liter with 2 cylinders (Daimler GB!) in 5 meter cars. Perhaps you could have a look at this.
I managed to make a concept vehicle with that kind of engine size in 1910/11, the largest engine it can fit with maximum length/width and engine length/width sliders is 1371Lx1574W.
I put a 8.5L H8 in it (as big as i could make it)
The chassis itself was listed as 7000mm length, but the bugs from the length/width of the R&D screen make it hard to tell the length of the resulting vehicle.
I think its about 5.5m, but that could easily be wrong.
