Frenchtown Flyer... no I didn't say that at the start as I was looking to see what would come out of it.
But as soon as huge marine diesels and the like were being mentioned I did try to divert thoughts to little engines.
Dennis... yeah, what a nice project. Shame it never got done.
I'm starting to get fairly impressed with a 3-litre six I have at the moment, a Nissan engine (RB30) that came here in both Nissans and in Holdens.
I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but when the Australian Formula 2 category was changed to be single cam (in block or head) production based engines up to 1600cc, no change in stroke allowed but bore could be altered to get the right capacity, John McCormack (an Australian Champion driver) reckoned that a sleeved down Fiat 1800 would be a very good thing to look at.
Wish someone had done it... but instead we only ever saw fours used.
