Yeah, they're 6.1-liter engines, not 5-liter, but you could differentiate the new series from the old, solidifying it as a MODERN incarnation in the minds of the people in the process, by calling it Formula 6000.

I see that TA2 use some kind of Chevrolet LS engine according to
http://ta2racingaustralia.com/the-cars/ . Another option would be the newer Chevrolet LT engine which is direct injected. (

One does ponder why Mr. Lamden choose the Ford DOHC Coyote over the slightly lighter and smaller^ Chevrolet LS3 that tuners seem to love!
^ LS3 is 12lbs lighter and nearly 5 inches narrower according to

Wouldn't mind seeing the 755hp supercharged 6.2L Chevrolet LT5 in an open wheeler
-- I wonder if the thermal management of the thing is up for being raced flat out for lap after lap! [Surely Chevrolet's finest engineering wouldn't overheat.
