Ok so I like making my own history up for my car company, and as we all know sooner or later problems always happen so what I am doing is in 1996 Charma will face a strike where their engine plant feels that they are not being paid enough for their effects considering how successful Charma had recently grown. With this being said Charma has to look to new companies to keep their beloved Hydra from facing extinction!

The Challenge Requirements are as followed

year 1996
No limit on man hours So have fun with the tech!
Engine must be INLINE 6
must use a dohc
and valve covers must be orange as is Charma history and tradition
produce over 300hp but not exceeding 430hp
engine can be either na or turboed
car must run smoothly and get min of 20 mpg
keep in mind this is a performance engine
no race intake
tubular and long tube headers are ok but no race headers
and it needs to have a mtbf of arond 70-100k

Now lets see some engines :D

you sure can! Although I had wanted it to be a surprise chassis because the styling has changed so much over the 60 years it has been produced. but here ya go! hope ya like it, its my favourite car to date.

also doubt you will have any issues stuffing an engine in. I have made a special edition for fun that I may or may not release with almost a max displacement inline six for this, its massive lol

I would modify an engine (and car) that I built earlier (they actually happen to fit all the requirements exactly, EXCEPT the year D:), but I'm sleep-deprived, somewhat sunburned, and probably have a mild case of heatstroke. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

From the CPV motorworks shed comes a tire shredding monster, the 7.2L Firebolt. It's a duel cammed naturally aspirated inline 6 with an earth shattering 640Nm of torque.

Here's a bigger, cheaper, lighter, simpler naturally aspirated alternative to my previous turbo engine.

Will you only announce a winner or will you give thoughts and grades to all entries?

hmm had never really thought about grading the others but that does seem like a fun thing to do, it will allow the others to know why their engine were not chosen I may take 2 engines one turbo and one NA but that is undecided. Tomorrow the winner shall be announced I got back really Late tonight or else I would have done it tonight.
