I guess your talking in the area of 2.5 - 3.0 ltr. 6 cylinder engines then. The V-8s are slowly disappearing in production engines, especially the foreign guys, but most manufacturers have 6 cylinder engines that I'm sure they could be made to work for the IndyCars. It could actually draw in some new manufacturers.

Maybe things aren't as bad as they seem...
In cars that reflect performance, V-8s and larger are the present and future.

Why would Detroit waste time building six bangers that represent grocery getting cars.

Indy rules used to allow anything from 4 bangers up, any new rules had better take this into consideration or what is going on now will not go away.
