As for the basic rule, I emailed Mulsanne Mike about it, and he said that from the wording of the ACO regulations that any engine(regardless of original capacity as long as it meets the 6 liter max in the racing version) that meets production requirements can be used-including the Elan 6L8 and a de-bored/de-stroked Saleen 7.0 V8, as they share the same block, heads, and many internal parts.

IE, if there's a 1000 Ford/Saleen/Elan V8s, a 6 liter version should qualify under the ACO's rules.
I take it you mean any GT-1 homologated engine that, quote; "that any engine(regardless of original capacity as long as it meets the 6 liter max in the racing version) that meets production requirements can be used" as per the ACO rule
Art. 5.1.1 (1)
Semi stressed engine, homologated in LMGT1 and used in
a production car built in a quantity of at least 1000 units per
year


L.P.
