yes it will be Mountunes Ford Duratec engine. They have been running this in 650bhp format in the X-games and rally cross for about 3 years now, so I expect it will have been derived from all those lessons learned.......so running it at circa 500bhp or so should not be a big task, but running for 6 to 24 hours in one stint might be a challenge.........last time I spoke to mountune was they were having trouble convincing the LMP customers that it is a legitimate LMP2 engine, despite being priced about 30% under the LMP2 price cap.......one to watch, I hope a few other teams start to run this engine, it will add a bit of variety, perhaps get Ford interested too..........As Mountune are Fords designated aftermarket tuner, they are very much in bed with each other.
