It is obviously not an absurd thread because this very issue is the subject of advanced debate among the f1 teams and other pundits. All of the teams who have v8 engines have made simple modifications to allow their 2005 chassis to run them. There is no reason the minardi chassis cannot do the same. This issue is even more pertinant considering that Redbull is trying to get approval for Toro Rosso to run the 2005 Red Bull chassis.
Granted, if Cosworth publicly states that not V8's are available for Toro Rosso then fair enough. But in my view there should be an attempt made to procure the V8 engines by Toro Rosso.
