Sad they had to use a yank engine! Very British!

A Daimler V8 (later Jaguar) was used to great effect in drag race. I understand over a 1000bhp was reach. That sound better than pulling out a Rolls Royce V8 to put in a cheap yank one! This would have meant more work as no offer the shelf performance parts.
