Looks like it's only running on 7; missing on number 1 (or 8) cylinder.

Hmmm, Mark Wine bottles might not fit in the Jag V-12 block
What's the bore on those, 3.5"??

Most bottles are about 3"+
You might get a Bordeaux to fit but a 750ml to a Burgundy is pushing it Especially if there is a liner like in the photo

Oh, dang... that's right. Would have to be big-ass American iron. Might have to go with 375ml bottles. :yesnod: But then again, maybe if the cylinders were Bordeaux-ed out to something larger... oh, nevermind. :laugh:


EDITING:
This just in...

Bordeaux Bottle - 750ml(25 oz.)
11.5" Length - 3" Diameter (292 x 75 mm)
Burgundy/Champagne Bottle - 750ml(25 oz.)
11.5" Length - 3.5" Diameter (292 x 75 mm)
ā€“ might JUST fit :cooler:

Actually Bordeaux is about 2 7/8's
And Burgundy is 3 3/8's

Don't forget that sleeve to hold them Level
