If you’ve got a project race car that’s in need of an engine, you’ll be delighted to know that an Indiana-based individual is selling several Nissan Indy Pro Series 3.5-liter V8 racing engines at $15,000 a piece.
First discovered by The Drive, these powerplants – known internally as the VK45 610A IRL – were used in the late 1990s and early 2000s and were designed exclusively for use in the Indy Pro Series. The 32-valve V8 engine has an aluminum alloy block and heads and features molybdenum-coated pistons.
According to the seller, these desirable engines are race-ready and have Carillo Rods, a custom fuel injection system, titanium valves, billet Bryant crankshafts, and a compression ratio of 10.5:1. In their current state of tune, they produce 450 horsepower at 8,100 rpm and 304 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm.
