Is Russ selling out?

[BOBTAIL]

From the very different type4 Porsche headed motor hes going to use a T1 style engine he'll have pushrods dry sump and water cooling .

On the upside he will have between 6 and 700 bhp and a very strong engine.

Have you guessed its a Pauter? yes with Autocraft heads 2.9 litre and it will be road legal Its a huge descision for him to make as he's always wanted to stay true to the marque at least 85% of his engine was german and mostly Volkswagen and most ironically mostly second hand parts the crank is 6 years old its won 4 championships ,runner up in 2 and it was new before he was born nearly .Its testimony to the true strength of the type 4.
It very nearly ran a 9 (10.05) and he regrets not doing so but its a realisation that pushing it further would result in finding the limits, whereas starting with a Pauter hes beyond 400 already with a stock case .
Anyway just thought you,d appreciate an update on where he's going this year.
