Correct, remember there are no cats, no power steering pump, no air con pump, no secondary valve system and electronics to control it, no EGR equipment, and so on, when you see this engine stripped down you would be surprised at how small it is after all the planet saving stuff is removed.

At 63 it's less than your average adult human being, an F1 engine and the boat anchor (Pinto) it replaced. smile
