Wow, you don't see a NA PP REW motor every day. Can I ask who built it?

That's a pretty serious project.

I was about to say something stupid and obvious like "that's peripherally ported isn't it?" but apparently it is :lol: Awesome. Must be a bit lively 8-)

That rollcage is quite a piece of work, too. What kind of suspensions does it run?

Its a Hayward engine. My brother said to Carl that he basically had free hands to do what he want. Focus was in max torgue and large rev range, not max power.

Almost everything in that rollcage was build by my brother. It was a big job. Also, fitting FD´s diff frame to FB`s frame was big job...

Rear coilovers are custom made here in company called Bigem. They are spezialiced on custom stuff like that. Those coilovers are based on Fd´s shocks and FB´s corner weights.
Front suspension is built by my brother and uses snowmobiles coilovers :)
