Yeah... not sure if the design lends its self well to the high rpm longevity they are after...

They would certainly have to use some form of cast iron block design to make it sturdy enough...

But they are turning nascar on its ear with this car of tommorow shit anyway why not design a whole new motor just for that... Pretty soon they will be fooking indy cars with bodies...

Wrong,I have a circle track magazine (junk mail) that goes into detail about it,it's very much a lsx design with small changes.:headbang
