^^^^ there you go dude!

Simple really! Not quite sure why it uses the 2litre head. Maybe a comp ratio thing? Never heard of using the 318is pistons before, but seems like a cheaper alternative than custom ones. Although getting an engine an a halfs worth of pistons may prove tricky! Presumably its got standard crank and rods. Then you just need something to pour some more fuel in from time to time!

This is an extreme example though, pretty sure i've seen examples with standard internals running around 300bhp. Not sure for how long though!

DMT next year?
If i havent blown it up/stuffed it at a track day this summer.
