![]() I think that nobody is looking at engines from a business aspect, the reason
the American V8's are used is that it is a simple powerful engine at Rock Bottom Price. If you change this for a modern multi-cylinder engine from Europe the price for the car would shoot though the roof. So with cars taking 2000 hours to build plus the difference in cost of a new engine and gearbox, it would put the car into a whole new price group, so may be best to stick to an established formulae especially as there may a few V8 engines on the market at knock down prices.
