The original MkII was a 427-powered car but as stated above I'm sure the SPF version will take any powerplant you'd care to install (watch for the first crate-hemi car...). SPF is apparently reproducing an improved version of the T44 transaxle, a four-speed with the strength to handle just about anything you care to throw at it. "Lesser" engines can get by with a ZF transaxle or, perhaps, a Porsche G50 (good up to about 500 hp) if the SPF will accomodate it. Should be interesting to see the first SPF MkII with an aluminum Genesis-based 427 making, oh, about 750 hp, 50% more hp than the Le Mans cars made on a good day...
