For the price, and power only at around 350....I think it'd be cheaper....way cheaper to build a 400hp turboed Busa motor and stick it whatever car yer building.
Not quite sure of the point of this engine is what I'm gettin at......cost must be..what..$25k prolly more.
There are better ways to make power I'd think??

2.0 an 3.0 liter V8? Wow...that seems a little small.


Then again, I really don't know what they're tryin to do. Now if you put a 427 in there somwhere....

umm, 360hp naturally aspirated and thats completely stock! throw a couple turbos and we are talking about 700+hp, in a package that weights less than half of a chev v8. the uses will be incredible. i will be buying one of these as soon as i get the cash. did you hear it! omg! i about fell off the chair in pleasure.

to each his own but i never did like chev/ford v8s, i like the unique stuff.

Doesn't look that compact to me but it sure did sound good.

if that was the case then why do F1 cars have similar v8's??? i hear that more and more"why dont ya just throw a chev in it..." thats what chevy guys will never understand.

It's a lightweight trackday car

If you put a 427 in it would snap in half or go very fast 'till the first corner and with a 72 degree included angle is a lot tighter package than most engines of the same configuration.
The flat plane crank gives a totally different sound to a "normal" V8 because of the firing order.

Another bike V8 based on the Yamaha 1000
