Ray Bell should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
A beautiful class, the Sports Sedan. Originating out of the need to have somewhere to run the Appendix J cars of 1964, they grew and grew, loose rules giving rise to some combinations that would stagger (the Laws brothers' Holden-powered Mini, the Brock A30-Holden, Bryan Thomson's VW1600 Chev and also his Mercedes-Chev 4-valve) the imagination.

That's the point, the imagination can come into it, so let's encourage it!

But an engine from a DC3 in a Festiva? Now there's a problem David didn't mention with that... it's not from a CAMS-recognised production car... quite apart from being over six litres.

But fear not, there are many engines not used that could be used, and how they are developed, as the rules say that the block must be 'derived' from the CAMS recognised prod. car... what does that leave to the fertile mind?

There's some lovely engines around these days, too.
