The engine cost �18,000 to build, and I am looking for offers
An obvious question, and one that has a painful answer!
The car has gone way over budget and my original sponsor went under.
I now need to try and claw some of the the money back, so that I can at least finish the project. When i become a little more flush then, maybe, I can worry about major power.
The project had an original budget of �30k that was blowen way out of the water!
As for rebuilds, who knows.
The engine was built to run at 8500 rpm. We then limited it to 7000 rpm. Also unlike the TT engine, we are using a steel ladder with massive steel bolts running through the block, should keep the thing together!!!
Im a tyre kicker only here, but it may help sell it if:
you can say who built it, ie was it built by one of the known K series companies; and
if it is known if there is any warranty from the builder
final question - if it is rev limited to 7,000 what is the power output at that point - assuming the full power arrives later on…do you have dyno prints to publish - that would be interesting?
No changes were made in the fitting of the engine to the Atom, so there is no reason why it wont fit in any other car the engine was designed to fit in.
Guys
I know it trivia but i am completely lost… and even more intrigued than ever.
Atom
me being dumb & dumber doesn’t understand what ‘playing wally’ means… i’m still lost…

You have brightened my evening up immensly, i’m still chuckling as a write but… I haven’t got a scooby doo what the hairoil you are on about… maybe cause I can’t read…
or maybe something to do with not having an AFAIK engine in my exige…
it feels like one of those puzzles where everyone around you can see the answer but your still thinking what the @#�* are they going on about… what is it…
Rox: Where�s Wally is a children�s book that has a picture of a foreign exchange student Wally dressed in a red and white stripped jumper and hat. He is placed within loads of people on the page and you have to try and find him!
Sorry it really wasn�t that interesting, but at the time I thought it was reasonably apt!
Anyhow, can we get back to the subject matter and talk about someone fitting this rather powerful motor into their car!
Atom, i’d love to fit your engine in my car but… there is the rather awkward question of big numbers of spondoolies which would prevent that happening, anyhow good luck and I hope you get someone soon it does look like a nice un.
