Default The ultimate pushrod engine: Secrets revealed after 20 years.

Some of you may have seen some posts about this project that we did with Ilmor Engineering at Penske Racing in 1994. There is now a book about it, due out in April of this year. Having been a participant in the project and worked with the author over the last few months, even I have learned some details that I was not aware of "in the day". While the engine was restricted by the rules to a single-cam/pushrod design, the level of technology applied to it was mind-warping. It was a privilege working with these people.

For those of you who are not familiar with Ilmor Engineering, this will be a real eye-opener.

Watch for a copy, and check it out:
