Hi toneV8 , i suppose anything is possible , would involve a lot of jig work as they have a palletting and clamping system on there 5-axis cnc milling machine.
A lot of work in converting a bridgeport , and still a lot of rotational movement of the work piece it self.
Have a look at this 18,000 rpm honda F1 engine on a dyno test cell wooooooooooo 800bhp plus , not you average family honda vehicle engine
