a 2.0L pinto engine such as is used in FF2000 in the SCCA?

a 1.6L toyota atlantic motor?

of course, being real race motors, you'll need to rebuild them every 50
miles or so.

(the pinto engine isn't truly a real race motor because it can't handle the
suspension loads and so needs a steel framework around it, but that's being
picky.)
