I likes em big, spent too many years in 2 litre thingys now very happy rollin in my 3.2

 

7.5 litres, 1000kgs, 1960's handeling.

i love it , it's just bonkers (not mine though )

 

It's a fantastic engine isn't it?

 

Difficult to answer.

In general, big and torquey for the road, small and revvy for the track.

I love the engine in my Legacy, it's not particularly powerful for a 3.0, only 240 bhp. It's torquey, loves to rev and is as smooth at 7000rpm as it is on tickover. Sounds very nice too, when you can hear it.

The k-series in my Caterham is not even remotely special but it's very well suited to the car and that superb 6 speed gearbox. The one I'm having built over Christmas is going to be a nice though, right up to the point that it explodes

 

Awwwww I just got rid of mine - have got that tranex 5 spd now and paddle clutch - feels weird (although haven't turned the engine on yet as that's still in bits)!

 

It'll be worth it

It's coming together then?
