What 'class' will the car with this engine run in?
What cams did you use (if that is the major influence on mid range torque?)

Thank's for the positive comments

The car will run in MSA tarmac rally events, as I'm not running the car, unsure exactly what class they will enter, but given that its a 3.0 capacity, would imagine either category 2 or 3

For FIA events, an engine like this complies with Homologation 3053, therefore 2.8RSR and 3.0RS and RSR types

Alan, if a good engine donor is received, then you are looking around £55k inc VAT. This is for an engine, run in, dyno tested, includes ignition system and looms, ready to install into the car

Bootsy was right.

It is beautiful, but way out of my league.

Yes, I was out in my grey SCR that has a single plug version of this engine fitted - were you on track ?
