Sorry, hope I didn't come off as snippy in my reply - seems I've been good at that lately. Different strokes for different strokes. I don't think we'll have a "super carb" or anything like that, just a good running 4bbl. I like fuel injection too, but I just wish to have this car in a very simple configuration - few electrics, and most everything mechanical, down to the fuel pump.

I think the Audi turbo motors are fantastic. The late model 5 valve motors do real well, as did the eariler engines. They'll be light, run well, and make plenty of power. Those would be fantastic engines in just about any do it yourself car - from a Lo Cost to a GT40. I think they will be a good choice. Another good one would be the nice V6 turbo diesel sold in the European Passats/A4/A6 cars, that'd be a lot of fun in a 2000lb sports car.
