This project is by no means a done deal. A number of obstacles need to be overcome.

I am inquiring about engine size in part because it could be useful to have these cars set up in the right displacement for amateur racing. I know that amateur racers do sometimes acquire mostly pre-built cars. If we had an option to easily sell it, it would give more flexibility to move on and try other things.

I’m trying to determine which motor size is OK for which class. So far I have found 2 L and 3.2 L for sporting car type competitions. So a small block Ford or Chevy would be way over that. There is a lot I don’t know.
If you are planning on racing in a class, build entirely to class spec. It is easier to aim for a spec/class at the beginning and have that guide a build than try to adapt after the fact. I imagine Tom W may be able to weigh in on this since autoX follows similar (very specific) classing rules.
