I've not heard of it being used, possibly due to installation difficulties as its a v-twin? would be torquey, but not as powerful as some other
popular bec engines...

Stuart Taylor have put them in a couple of Pheonixs etc, but the main problem in a Locost (or an Seven type car) is that one cylinder needs to stick
out the side of the chassis in order for the output shaft to line up with the tunnel and to have the engine sitting flat (its not an upright V, more
of a \l if u see what I mean!)

Cheers Russ,
am just at the contemplating stage at the moment, lloking at what engines i can get for what money really, i dont run a Locost its a Formula 27 and i
suspect the Dims would be different,
Thanks all the same though.
