That page is as old as the internet.

Making the heads reverse flow is stupid... the exhaust valves and exhaust ports are much smaller than the intake ports. Good thing it is twin supercharged because it would really suck N/A.

"supercar" is a strong word.

They didn't just reverse the flow of the heads, in fact, they didn't do that at all. They just reversed the heads. The front head now sits on the backside of the engine, and visa versa. So the intake ports and valves are still intake, they are just on the outside of the V. Actually not a bad idea at all. There's far more room for the intake manifolds, lower center of gravity, hottest part of the drivetrain is highest, and away from anything on the engine that could burn.

However, for all of his wood being so light and structural, 2500lbs is a fuckin lot.

Ahhh, that's good then. I was wondering how the cooling system and intake valves would deal with exhaust going out the intake.
