What would you do if there were no american engines?

[Paolo-LoveGT40 Modelworks]

Low bugdets...german engines.
High budgets, Italian ones. ...and it will be The ford ..with ferrari beats.

Hmmm, interesting thread. Cosworth is now American owned BTW. How about a nice juicy Judd, or a zippy Zytec?

A BMW with a JUDD engine prepared for hillclimbs.

Engines, who needs engines?

Lose the floor plate and get around 'Flintstone' style.

Yabba dabba doo.

And besides, if there were no American engines, Al Gore would have nothing to moan about.

Presumably a V8? Right that's it then - a Judd for the '40, no doubt.

KV675 is nice, but while we're selling the kids to pay for it, why not sell the missus as well opt for the GV5, 4997cc V10. 800hp at 10,000rpm. Should sound as good as Georg's BMW, just with more bragging rights at the pub.

Yes - intensive....

 

[Paolo-LoveGT40 Modelworks]

IMHO Any modern engine will be probably much more powerful form the start,much more hard and difficult to repair (M5 unit is NOT so easy..and needs a bit of electronic to work) and will save some (few) money in fuel.
How about an eco fuel alchool machine?
