WARP TEN · 11-28-2021

The SB4 has been around since 2016 as an automotive crate engine based on their water-borne engines. Notably for us, the SB4 is a DOHC engine: "The 32-Valve DOHC V-8 was designed, developed and manufactured in-house,"they say. What they don't say is how much they learned about aluminum DOHC 4 valve motors building the LT5s in their Stillwater OK MerCruiser plant. I don't know how physically big it is or whether it would fit in a C4 ZR-1, but it would be fun to see one done that way, sort of a semi-genuine Continuation ZR-1.... --Bob
