Milling the engine out of a block? Sounds great to me, working in an aircraft milling plant
Someone nows the alloy? Think they need a thick plate and normaly there is a problem with some alloys to get them very thick |

Are they going to be able to sell sufficient road cars to homologate?

haha typo indeed.
actually, it was an invisible contender. sounds good, but also sounds like it wont happen, if the prototype is as botched as judgefudge says. |

Also note this from Feb 2007 Car Magazine :- "This year the Hellcat team will go to Le Mans ‘to have a look’, next year ‘to have a go’ - and in 2009 they will ‘go to win’. Melling has his sights set very high" Not saying it has a chance though... Mariantic |

And with the current GT1 regs looking doomed there's no chance of this seeing the light of day

yup Melling - nice chap but what was his last big project? the Lola F1 engine of 1997 - that worked well. 6 litre v10? is that Lola litre V10 x 2
