put them in they can fit NA enfgine and they have the air scoop covers if needed ,from the Superleague formula which is a modified DP01...i beleive...
but heck the turbos will fit the dallara so use those first...

Reliable sources havetold me that many facets of the DP01 would have to be re-engineered to make them oval ready, including the droop-wing front nose, airbox and engine compartment redesign to accommodate the Honda N/A engines, different suspension geometry and hardware to handle the loading through high-banked turns, etc.
The costs would be very expensive, and after Panoz just received a paltry $1.5 million from CCWS for the unfulfilled orders, I highly doubt that they will go abck and spend even more $$$ to make the car IRL capable.
