According to the Racecar Magazine rallycross special that come out a few weeks ago, both the Albatec and Hansen Peugeots are using Oreca engines.

The block is the only part of the engine that has to be original, doesn't it? (And as both Citroen and Peugeot are part of the PSA group I can't see their being a huge difference in the Peugeot and Citroen blocks) I assume that the heads etc. that they put on the engine will be similar on both.
If Peugeot were building the engines in house I could see them having issues producing a reliable engine with double the power demands of the R5 specification, but Oreca should be able to produce a reliable engine, shouldn't they?
