That’s quite an impressive list of cheap, easy-to-build engines you’ve got there - unpretentious, not too complex and just enough power for the cars in which they are installed. But the engine for your upcoming Group B homologation special is unlikely to be any of those things…

Looks at my incoming Group B homologation special

y-yeah… no frills… and easy to build… yeah! Exactly! hehe! heh…
