Biiiiig V8 in Tuscan Racer

[dontlift]

Was over at RT racing recently and saw a tuscan race car being modified to take the 6+ litre winston cup race engine... V8 Tastic it looks and sounds like an absolute monster.

Anyone that drives this beast is clinically certifiable, or stupid, but i also imagine will be grinning from ear to ear from the moment they fire it up.

Nice work Mr Thorpe

edited to add: quoted 600+ BHP waaayhayyyyyy

And "more torque at idle than griff 500 at full chat" I seem to recall.

I think the idiot driving it will be Richard himself.

And I'll be the idiot wishing it was me!

Indeed the same torque on idle as a griff 500 at full chat... and if I could afford one I would have it but knowing what the engine cost to build caused me to make a big mess of the back of my pants and it did not smell nice.

However I have booked myself into richards passenger seat for the trip to zolder in "THE BEAST"

If you're able to say I would be interested to know what it cost. I've just bought a 4.2 AJP for my Tuscan so would like to know how the prices compare.
Thanks

more than your tuscan cost let alone the 4.2 AJP engine, although I am pretty sure Richard didnt pay the ticket price on it......

The engine is a DART Winston Cup NASCAR engine full spec
