Its a bit of a joke realy the power output , lets look at say the history of the b series ford engines , be it lotus or say the late cosworth engines . The f2 1968 brabham which is owned by the Penrite oil company which is used in the historic racing here . That has one , i don't know which series since there was so many , bg be bd etc etc , lotus non hart headed 1.6 b series engines which runs the 45 webers 8v valve head unlike the hart 16v 48 webered engines . It revs to 9000rpm has 210-212 at the flywheel and due to the dated hewland transmission of the time has a loss back to 180 ish at the wheels . The hart head 16v version using the 48 webers has a power span of 8500 to 11000 rpm and where meant to have 240ish or more at the flywheel . The designs of these earlier engines change continuously . There tried everything from different valve angles , yes cams in different locations , even different intake to exhaust side . Manifolds made into the heads , and all number of port designs . But the real limiting factor why these engines didn't make 250hp was the materials available to them at the time , there valves where too heavy and required long guides to control the valve from sticking . Due to the high air speed oscillation would stick the value in the guide and bang would follow if the engine was driven passed a limit . If they had the technology of today 250hp would have easily been had by them . So is the atlantic 240hp just bullshit , or is this the limit of the 4age head design , block design , valve angle , stroke which is by far the latest advance in F1 engines after pneumatic valve operation . I would think that developing the same engine year after year would would surely hit a limit which there is no getting passed . So what is it really 240hp for the 4age after all it is based on a mass production engine after all . [Report message to a moderator]
