i know the I-6 is a big honkin engine. but maybe itll be easier to clear the v-ate with no trackbar to worry about

i dont see the links getting in the way all that much. the straight six is such a beefy good motor, and most importantly, naturally balanced. dont see why it should get replaced with a unibody twisting V8

i cant tell what motor that is by looking at it but i would guess chebby smallblock
which if you wan't to build a motor for powa, thats the mota you want.
you can make the I-6 breathe fire, but it'll cost you.
