My cousin has these two beauties for sale

An ITC Opel Cosworth 2.5 V6
I'm sure this engine was around the 350-400 bhp figure.

And an ex F1 Arrows 3.0 V10 (inc gearbox)
This engine is resrticted to about 17k rpm and 650bhp.

Imagine the fun you could have slotting either of those into the right car

They fell out the back of a lorry

The V6 is out his old hillclimb car, and the V10 is from his current one.

He's got a hillman imp road/track toy, and he joked about putting the V10 in there

Although he sensibly decided to sell it because he would like the money more.

Here is the one the V10 was in. The GWR Predator.
Apart from some help with an ex-lotus designer/engineer, he pretty much designed and built the car himself.

Here is a video to go along with it. This is going up the Doune track.

I can't find any pics of the Imp, which is a shame as its a little beast, but i've got a video of it also going up the Doune track.

Remember, the imp is about 996cc.
