Sadly for most, this was a Pinto engine with a turbo. Man I miss those days...dropping an SVO engine into a Pinto (rpush notwhithstanding). A little more intricate than a cleveland.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING... I remember when I first saw this car LAP THE WHOLE FIELD at LBGP. Think I was 8 years old (88ish) told my father... "Man when that yellow / white car goes to turn one, sure sounds like TWEETY BIRD!" Those wastegates releasing 30+ psi of boost sounded SO DAMN awesome!
-- Funny thing is when I talked to a head engineer of the Pete Halsmer RX7 team. They were blown away by the DYNO numbers that Roush got! They were not supposed to see them.
That is one of my favorite race cars of all time. I saw the engine at Roush during fabrication. The head was 100% billet machined -- dead straight intake runners to say the least.

Yup, 2.3 (Turbo Charged) she is! Awesome car, shame it was never offered here in the USA as 4wd.

Indeed, there's a guy up the street from me trying to sell his. If it was 4wd i would buy it in a heart beat!
