Was doing some design work for a scaled war bird, and got to thinking I needed an all alloy V-6 in the 2.5~3.0 litre range.
After a Gooogle search I found a motor that was,
All Alloy,
2.6 litre,
Single overhead cam (a bit lighter than quad cam)
And due to having 3 valves per cylinder...,
Has DUAL ignition! :gig:
It's a Merc motor, rated at around 170hp, last built around 2003.
I haven't had time to chase up more info, but so far sounds fairly promising, anyone else got any info?
Arthur.
