Engine recommendations

[Jp ultima]

My ultima chassis is arriving on the 25th, and though i am not the one ultimately (no pun intended) making the decisions (My dad is), i do have some say on some parts of the build. we have pretty much ruled out the audi v10 because of the price. any recommendations taken into consideration

LS7, nothing else with this much power and torque and the chassis is already designed for it, headers are already fabricated for it.

That was my First idea, but they are so difficult to find...

not really I can get you one incl. nice professional harness for 13.000 EURO + VAT same as I used, you would need a DTAFAST S80PRO and the map from DTAFAST and you are done. This engine has some very nice bits on it and is worth at least double the money. A steal.

I'm sure that Schwartz has one that you can get right now along with a set of headers and exhaust.

Don't even think about any other engine unless you want more weight, less power and want to delay completion of you car.

K Wright is right about the engine choice for all the reasons listed
