Check-Out this LTX Engine

[The Engineer]

I like his motor, I really do. I like his way of thinking too. But noone ever answered my question as to why he went this path. What is so much better about the layout he has? Is the LT1 block a weakness in his eyes? Is the reverse cooling a flaw also? At first I was thinking that maybe the rules permit a huge overbore, which would explain the reasoning behind an sbc based block over an LT1 block. I still don't understand the change back to regular cooling though.

I think consistent 10.30s with a N/A 350ci engine and 3300 pound car says it all!
