Fantastic engine.  But no longer emissions compliant in most of our states. 
Mike, looks like the dark side is getting more and more converts.

According to my engineer any US engine after 96 still complies, reason for selling is that I was going to put it in my GT40. There was a lot of work to fit it in my 40, so yes I have decided to go for an Ls engine. Would suit someone who has started the chassis fab to suit this engine from the start.

I would beware of that advice. US engines are not Euro 2 compliant as far as I am aware. The US have different emissions standard which are no longer equivalent to our Euro 2. And as the 4.6lt modular was never complied here to Euro 2 standards it's no longer an option.
I would be very happy if I was proved wrong though.
Did you say GT40...now we are talking.  |

I think Col's advice matches something I was told the other day and that is the 5L AU I've been rushing to get engineered this year is compliant yet for another year!
Bloody polys can't make up their minds!!
Cheers

Well unless my whisperer was just having a lend and stir of me but I'm guessing as a manufacturer down here he should know.
The line was the compliance rule were re-read properly and AU engines have more time.
I'll quiz this person more tomorrow night for clarity!

Thanks Stephen, we have a lot of builders here rushing Foird 5lt builds to have them finished by the end of this year. Certainly the engineers up here think that the 5lt is non-compliant next year.
I actually wonder if they will give a bit of leeway to builders who don't quite make the cut-off. They certainly gave a lot of leeway when we changed away from 37/00(carby).

I would not like to be caught in that situation hence the push to do what I've managed this year.
For my knowledge what year exactly was it than non-carby engine use was introduced?
Cheers

Now you are testing me.
From memory officially start of 1999 is when they stopped, although they let through carby cars for a long time after that.
