With NZ's location being half a world away from the motorsport engine production facilities, it makes sense to have just the one engine.
(Possum Bourne's mechanics emergency trips to Japan from Australia to obtain subaru rally engine parts and transport of engine parts as passenger cabin area luggage so the parts don't go missing are epic)
If you look on the ST website, there will be a blue logo cover on the engine for the Ford car. Is there a Ford engine with the performance history and reliability of the LS7.R engine ?

I think you will find with the NZ jet sprint boats there is a GM engine product preference.

Is that an American phrase ' Build a bridge etc' ?
