4.0 engine!

Curious what rods that engine uses. As I understand it, the factory limited the RS engine to 3.75 liters because any larger bore caused too much piston rocking in the cylinders.

If I were told my pistons were rockin' in my cylinders, I'd be like: "Hell yeah they are!"

Possibly Cosworth as they have had a lot to do with the development of the Singer engines,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Their engines are currently built in San Diego now. To the builder's spec. As of Tues, he is still building at a pretty good pace.

IIRC Cosworth did build the original Singer engines, however, Ed is right about the engines being built now in San Diego.

Yes the 3.8's are being built by Jae Lee in San Diego. The 4.0 by Ed Pink.

IIRC the first Singer engines were actually built by Colin Belton and Geoffrey Ring.

You would perhaps do well by having Gamroth build one for you.
The tops of the Ed Pink engines are Rothsport anyway.

If they did, it'd make Singers look cheap.
