That they can place the weight where they like over the front of the car may help in lowering the centre of gravity... |

That's what I was thinking, the weight would be placed lower down........is the quad cam alloy engine an option for Ford and holden too? |

Think so - saw a quote from someone involved in the COTF program recently (think it might have been Mr Skaife) saying that Ford / Holden had the option of putting forward alternative engines.

IIRC, In NZV8 land if you ran the alloy heads on the holden you had to also have set lead plates bolted to the chassis rails in a set position.

I thought there was also minimum block weights (to stop the expensive task of machining every excess gram off the current iron blocks) so I am sure they will just mandate the same min weights if there is major differences |
