If only MM could team up with an IMSA racing team and kick some arse. That would really awaken a lot of interest in the power plant, methinks.

I wonder if the engine has bolt in replacement capability into a C4 ZR-1 chassis.

I was just thinking the same thing. Wonder if Mercury Marine would be interested in donating a motor to find out.

It's a sweet engine! There's video out there of the chief engineer talking about this power plant!

It based off an LS7 short block. There are kits available for an LSx swap into a C4.
