Yeah, and you just threw out alot of the european cars. But a 944 turbo
still fits, 2.5L 4 banger. However, I can almost guarantee that 95% of
the STU cars are going to be OHC.

Rotaries, most commonly the mazdas are all likely to be 2 rotor 13b
motors anyhow. Do you have any idea how expensive a japanese 3 rotor
motor is? Yoiks.
All the 6 banger bimmers are out (2.8L up to 3.2L). All the VR6
volkswagens are out too (2.8L). Starting look like a pretty exclusive
club all of a sudden. I think you need to relax those restrictions.

2.3L I think.
