    Arrival of the new powerhouse

    It is not often that I get so excited, but believe me when you load a new motor onto a pickup, you do get excited like a little kid getting a new toy... with batteries!

     

    That’s right, what you can see in the picture, the new engine I bought is from a written off BMW 740i. 4 Liters, fuel injected, quad valve motor delivers 210kW (298HP) of power! Still have to do the calculations, but the power to weight ratio will put it in the super car category!

     

    And yes, it will fit, I should have about an inch of clearance on all sides of the engine once it is in, but that should be enough... Mating it to the gearbox will be another issue, but Ill deal with the problem later as I know that some people have put the BMW V12 into the GT40s using the same gearbox! The electronics including the computer boxes I stored for now. (It takes up 4 boxes!!!) I hope I get a good auto-electrician...

    Sounds awesome! And I'm very glad it will fit. Also, I now understand the veil of secrecy that's surrounded the latest component. It was THE component.
     
    Looking forward to the flow dynaimcs for keeping the 'beast' cooled ;-)
