Suitable Australian Engines for a Locost

Here are some notes on what power plants car manufacturers use in current day production cars. I have ignored all 6cyl and bigger engines, and big 4s found in commercial vehicles.

All of these options are valid in South Australia at the time of writing, however this may not be the case in all Australian States. Your Engineer will be able to advise you on the options avaliable for your state.

Please email me if you can add any details.
