Not bad, but for that kinda setup, I would've just gone all out for F1's now defunct 2.4 liter V8. Just call up Renault, Mercedes, or Ferrari, I'm sure they'd still have one lying around somewhere
However, 750 bhp and 18k RPM might be too much even for the twin’s exceptional chassis to handle…

I dig it. Would get it if I could afford it. Doesn't affect the balance of the car. But a ton more na power. With a 13k redline what's not to like.

If I could I would for sure

Still waiting for a good flat six build for these cars, though. Nothing beats the sound of an engine with cylinders in multiples of three.
Hartley was the company. They sold the rights to that engine to the same company that did the JUN car motor. I've daydreamed about this motor swap for a while.
