Dr Mayf,
How about listing ALL the class restrictions?
- max number of cylinders allowed
- max number valves per cylinder
- cam shaft configuration limitations (OHV, OHC, DOHC, L-head, pocket
valve)?
- type of fuel allowed (Pump gas, 110 Sunoco, whale oil)?
- any other internal component limitations (rod/crank material)?
- induction limitations (FI, Carbs, DFI, wetted wick)?
Assuming four cylinders, I still vote for the Honda F20C from the earlier
S2000 if all its OEM trickery is allowable. Close to 300 hp with cams,
injectors and bigger throttle body. More if cubic dollars (bucks to the
third) are thrown at the heads. This engine tolerates over 700 hp on
turbo/NO2, so you know it is a stout platform. Lots of YouTube idiocy with
these engines.
You will not get that power level from a normally-aspirated Pinto/Capri
engine.

PS As to oils, see who can offer you a sponsorship, most racing synthetics
today are superb. When I raced professionally we ran Redline oils and Wix
filters. Good stuff.

Ok, folk. Somehow it seems that the note that the next generation of
motor(s) for the salt flats car has to be all motor. That means no
blowers, no turbos, no NOS, just motor. Can be a really high tech
sucker, but NO power adders.
Now, some have mentioned the power output of the 2.3 liter Pinto
derivative motors. I have a friend in Detroit who ran a Merkur with one
that he spared no expense to build and tune which put out 750 reliable
HP. Of course that was turbocharged and he ran two intercoolers as
well. The first one was the conventional ice water air and the second
one he used NOS to cool the already chilled air even more. It pushed
the Merkur to a 225 or so record.
I do not want to run power adders for the next gen motors for the
sunbeam salt car...
