Whilst browsing on Ebay I came across this item.

Anyone know if this is genuine? or have any more info?

Isn't the Bosscerb a 5.0ltr?
Maybe a few cranks were made?

Nice - no mention of stroke or a nice picture though.

They tried a few up to 6L iirc... Speaking to the engine builders though, 4.7 is as big as you really want to go before you start losing the revs and not making much more power. I looked at going 5L when speccing mine but was advised against it as they have a tendency to not last very long! I'd love see the figures from one though!

495hp is what i was told from a 5litre from someone in the know and a refresh each meeting!

He ran a 5litre AJP one year in the Tuscan challenge, the other teams knew about it, but didn't really mind as he wasn't a front runner
