Koenigsegg working on a camless engine.
"Theoretically, a Freevalve engine can run on diesel, gas, or alcohol with no mechanical changes—though not at the same time—and can even switch from a two-stroke to a four-stroke cycle"

I must be old...Though the performance that can be achieved using modern design and electronics is mind-blowing, I personally would be more interested in hearing about that Slant-6 triple Weber project that's hinted at in your sig. I have been tossing around the idea of a similar project using an early 2nd-gen Firebird and a late 60s Pontiac OHC-6 "Sprint" pkg engine. Long live the underdog...

 

Meh. I'd rather hear about that one too, and I'm only 34. But, I actually own something with a Leaning Tower of Power that's been dressed up a little bit with a Clifford 6=8 intake & a Holley 2bbl, and I'm not likely to ever own a Koenniggnignigniseensesnseshseeggggeesegg of any sort

 

Don't think I would ever want to be on that race track!

 

...^^^... I remember a guy who built up a Valiant 225/145 slant 6 and that thing could really run. He could run with a 289/271 HYPO Mustang.

He also hopped up a 273/235 Barracuda and that thing was amazing fast for such a small engine.

 

It's still there. Old Fiat factory in Turin, since converted to shops and a concert hall and so on, but the track is still on the roof. This is from 2011.

 

I haven't been to the drags in a long time, but there is a local Mopar guy that runs an old rail powered by a slant six...I don't remember his times, but it is quick. He also has a mid-60s 2-door Valiant with the solid lifter 273 and a 4-speed. It's almost a quick as the rail. I have a soft spot for small displacement and 6-cyl stuff. Personally, I drive a V6 Mustang with a smallish Roots type blower (Eaton MP-90) on top.

Giggity!
