So he purchased a four cam Indy 500 engine, substituted Lucas fuel injection for the Hilborn system, and fitted an exhaust system emanating from the centre of the engine vee. The near horizontal rear clip window (above the exhausts in this configuration, instead of above the intakes) was left out. It was running about 425 bhp, not extreme by today's standards.
