SpeedRacer Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Turns out that engine was a real bust compared to the Honda and Toyota engines so GM went to Ford and got an engine with enough horsepower to be competitive. BTW, it doesn't run on gasoline, it runs on Methanol so you wouldn't want it in your street car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 It is my understanding that all INDY and CART racing programs do not get rid of used engines. They lease engines from the manufacturer and return them for a rebuild after each race or so. I know that this is how it is done in CART and am pretty sure it is the same for INDY, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Wasn't there a post by someone who wanted to build a small displacement high rpm engine? Like the old Beatles song, "All you need is bucks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMAHAWKZ Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 indy engines are out there available for purchase. i went to the vince granatelli auction about a month and a half ago and they were auctioning complete engines and parts for what would be considered cheap money in the indy car circle. way too much for my blood. if you remember granatelli's dad was the guy behind stp oil treatment and they campaigned 4 indy cars in the early 90's. so keep looking. you can also check "kruse auctions" i believe the web site is http://www.kruse.com they are the ones that did the granatelli auction and they are involved with alot of racing/auto auctions..... good luck in your quest for a indy motor..
