Here is food for thought - maybe!

There was a guy called Bruce McLaren and he built and raced these big Orange sports cars with up to 900bhp Injected 8 litre Reynolds Chevrolet V8 engines, and they absolutely demoralised everything for a few years in the 1960's, and even nowadays they are very fast at the classic meets, the smallblock Lolas and others couldnt compete against the light weight and large hp of these cars!

Techology obviously has come a long way since then, and I guess Rule #4 does come into the mix, smallblocks give a smoother power and less unbalancing of the car through the corners!

Currently contemplating an alloy FE for my circuit car as I think they will be less stressed, more resale value and still fun to drive, I cant quite get with the program on the smallblock stroker Ford, mind you I ran a nice 350hp 289 years ago and it was brilliant!
