Sir i give you http://autoquarterly.com/product125.h "The Heart of the Beast"
A story that will in time become a piece of automotive history and about how GM and LOTUS got it together to design and build an Anglo American 4 cam engine.
It covers how they designed,the problems,the relationships between the two sets of engineers and how the relationships were built and grew(they held competions between the two sets of engineers in a bar down the road),how the plug nearly got pulled on the project many times and how they overcame ,right through to the end of the 5 year stint including breaking 12 world records including a production car 24 hour record with an average speed of 176+ mile an hour for 24 hours,after which the engine was torn down to show minimum wear..a great read.
