That's very helpful, thanks for posting. Most of the components look to be fairly robust. I posted in another thread that this engine is used almost stock in the Formula Ford racing series, which led me to believe it was pretty tough.
The main concern I saw expressed in the article was that the crank is cast, not forged, as is apparently more common.

The issue with the article is they assume the first weak point is the con-rod. The truth is that it's the piston head... Also, 400whp is not a "new height" for the FiST.

What a great find!

I love their "plastic IM is cosmetically challenged". Whole engine is cosmetically challenged, but the inside and parts are elegant. Except cast crank, I thought those were Model A stuff.

I did not know that the stock crank damper might be inadequate for racing. Anyone know why?

That happened to me, turned out to be just a temporary glitch. I tried again a little bit later, and the link worked fine.

Not impressed with their build of the car .
