I already spent more than that on the 4ag I have.

The cam covers rise up because 'Formula Atlantic' was a single seater American race series and the cam cover mounted the engine rigidly to the chassis.

Top geek knowledge!

Now on ebay. I think that a thing of beauty.

Indeed!

What sort of performance do you get with 240bhp at 10k rpm?

Not as much in an MR2 as in a Formula Atlantic car I think Alex

Wouldn't mind that pretty little motor in my car though

Tbh I've not heard of anyone putting an Atlantic engine into an MR2, but it has been done to an AE86 a few times.

He needs to work on his Apex's,

I think it is likely the thing you'd really notice is the smoothness of the power delivery and the ability to rev the nuts off it.

[kaiowas]

I can't imagine the power delivery will be very smooth at all. An engine with that kind of specific power output is going to be very peaky with a very narrow power band.

The main thing you'd probably notice is that your gearing is all wrong unless you'd spent $$$ on a custom set of ratios to go with it. :p

[tonigmr2]

Possibly a fair comment on the gearing, LOL.

The vid looked very smooth throughout the range to me though!
