From the day one the new rules were announced it was clear as day that

Le Mans = Crap BoP for the OEM engines because they discredit the ACO philosophy
America: Crap BoP for the non OEM engines because they're not political series "partners" and don't throw cash around

But I doubt many non-Zytek engined cars will appear at LM, as they will very likely do just what MSR does this year... don't even bother to tear apart their OEM bodies and engines, but rather just rent some another second hand Oreca or Onroak in Europe and run that there. Because it's easier.
