What size engine for the online/Youtube EC?

I think I can predict exactly how this is going to turn out. 25-30. Of us will keep this post going but when it comes down to following through with it I would be shocked if it went down with todays shipping costs. I’m guessing 800-1000.00 to ship an engine both ways plus the dyno test minimum plus the cost to build an engine that falls within the rules. I’m guessing if three guys followed through with it Ramm would be extremely pleased and probably within the number of participants he hoped for. Good luck guys.

I think you're right on about almost everything here. Of course it will be expensive to ship an engine but do you know what it cost to drive to Ohio and stay for a week? That's not the point though. Those that can afford it will enter and those that cannot-won't. Besides I think I have a way around the whole shipping thing and NOT rely solely on C.F.'s to keep everyone on the up and up. So a person could enter from just about anywhere as long as the dyno service/owner adheres to the rules. This will employ the honor system and we all know it only works if everyone holds themselves accountable. J.Rob
