My crew chief Gordon @ Hudson Historics found it for me
Not sure re engine yet though I know he built it originally
Will probably drop an 800hp V8 in there till I get a feel for the car before I drop in a 1200hp V6 turbo

I love the Glen
Once she is done the Glen is way up high on list of tracks to shred

Was just talking to Crew Chief at Hudson Historics in NY
Starting work on suspension, fuel cell, hoses, lines, & ordering parts that take a while.
Hope to have pics in a few months

They ran twin turbo V6's and also V8 engines... the side coolers are radiators. well they are both radiators on our car which is the Blue and white one above in the thread.

Sarel Van Der Merwe & Doc Bundy drove mine. They won Road Atlanta in 1986 from the Pole.
During testing she was driven by Mario Andretti, Al Unser, & Al Holbert
I told my crew chief I'll run the V8 w a "mere" 800hp before we drop the 1200hp turbo V6 in there
