LS3 in RV10

Unread post by tjop »

Ek sien op Youtube hulle bou ‘n 370 Bhp LS3 in ‘n RV10 nou. Water verkoel en loop op Mogas. Enige iemand op die forum ondervinding daarvan? Voordele / Nadele?

According to Chevrolet's website....

Wish there was a good JET-A/ diesel engine available... Continental CD300 or CD265 would be great

Joh! 370hp is maybe a bit much for the RV10 frame. Chalkie/Jan, etc. are the best guys to comment on it...

Unfortunately they stopped the development of the CD265. Only the CD300 and the 100 series are in production. Not sure about the weight of the CD300 but it could be an option?
