The investment in equipment would, one might hope, be paid for by the customers . . . so the work on the race car gets done "betimes" -- unless the race car is the main focus of the shop, and then the customer work, if there be any, is done betimes and, probably, begrudgingly. Either way, competing at a high level and winning races with a 292 six-cylinder engine would be an expensive proposition. Having to launch at 11,000 rpm would not make it less expensive.
If you were to set out today to replicate the success of Perry and Headrick with a six-cylinder inline engine -- assuming that you think that could be done -- what engine would you choose? How much money would someone have to spend to make that happen?
God's Peace to you.
