This thread seems to resurface every couple of years or so, but it is chock full of good stuff from start to finish.

Great thread! Had no idea the S65 was used so widely. I'd love to see more of that Judd engine...they are amazing. Not sure which V8 this is...

Anything on the Dinan S65? I remember when Ganassi was winning DP in IMSA every year with a Dinan S62. Before the merge (2017-ish?), Ganassi has a Dinan S65 ready to go but ended up never needing it. Then Ganassi switched to the Ford Ecoboost.

Who would have thought a 20 year old engine would still dominate?

I'm not sure this document about the S65B40 was shared here before. It is a good read. This is not only a NA engine.... it is a musical instrument!!

Thanks for sharing this! Worthy of printing and I totally agree.

Here's a good one on the development of the S85. Worth a watch.

This was a great watch. I want an E60 M5 now.

Oh man. Makes me miss mine.

But also I’ll be honest, I laughed at the speedo shot at the beginning showing it revving out to 8400 with the oil light on.
