“The new 904 sells for $85,000.”
I think LSx does win…

“Compare the similarities between Schubeck engines and the engines winning at **_Lemons_** and Indy. Starting with the valve train, for example, newer engine designs all use overhead cams proven to be less stressful by doing away with problems related to push rods and tappets. Fewer moving parts mean less reciprocating weight. Less weight helps the valve train operate in all rpm ranges with less effort and more efficiency.”
llol i love how american manufacturers cant even spell LeMans right.
cool power-plant tho. what is its relative size? lookes like its about as big as a v10

Yeah only $45,000 or $85,000, depends on how much you wanna get ripped off.

Not to mention “broker” valve train components. hmmmm. You’d think at $85k a pop they could afford an editor to review the webpage before it goes public.

As far as I know, schubeck is out of business. doesnt answer the phone anymore, and owes tons of people money for parts he never delivered. It was like pulling fucking teeth to get what he owed me last year.

That is pretty lame. Especially for the amount of money most likely involved by those who dealt with them.

They are the best for power vs weight vs size. Same or more power that that 904 engine for only 500lbs, it will actually fit under a hood and sounds cool as hell. Look for the sound clip of the engine in a car rolling by. All this is is a SBC with 4 more cylinders added.

Back on topic, I’d rush right out and buy an 80k engine from someone who can’t spell LeMans.
