Cowman: I think you are being rather generous with the souped up C idea. While the rear chassis is 300, 350, 460, the front end is little heavier than C, SC or 200. The gas engine is a disaster, not quite sure how they ever came up with 46 hp, as they will not hold a candle to a 300 or 350 in the field. I rather doubt the diesel will measure up to the M, SM, 400 or 450. On the long haul you just can't ignor those extra cubes.

Think about it; 300-169 cu in, 350-175 cu in, 460-236 cu in and M through 450 all above 248 cu in gas and diesel. 504 gas 153 cu in, diesel 188 cu in. No my friends you just can't get long term reliable power from high rpm's, it's got to come from cubic inches.

Just about every manufacturer has tried the high rpm route and most have been failures.
