The pages seemed to load kind of slow, but from what it appears...someone has taken 2 topends(head and cylinder block) off a big Japanese 4 cylinder and made a crankcase and crankshaft to mount them to. It's been a few years but I would guess Suzi, but it could be Kaw/Honda/Yamaha. They all use similar technology. I think it was Russ Collins in the early 70s that did the same for a set of Honda 750 topends, although it was a 90* V8. It was one bada$$ engine, I think it ran at Bonneville, but could have been a dragbike.....naw Bonneville.

I think this is the perfect motor for the Noble M1. Not bad for the Lotus 7 either. It's gotta sound awesome. The HP per $ is a little tough to swallow however.

In the right light package that it is intended for; all you will see is the back of the car as it disappears!

The History section says they used hayabusa top ends. Very interesting engineering that went into this engine. I'd like to see a race class for this engine to see what it may be capable of on the track in a light package like the Caterham 7 or something similar? Maybe an Indy lights car?
