Now I am no expert on such engines but they look blinking good value to me at $10,000's a go. Obviously they wouldn't be suitable in their current mode for marine use but what value! Anyone heard of them before?

There are quite a few engine manufacturers in the US putting out these type of engines and marinised versions too for really good value- however I had discounted as RB2 for twins would be a max of 518 CID each to make the 17 litre limit - a lot of the cheaper engines are build on the 540/544 block and setup.
However if you are going RB1 - check out sonny Leonard race engines - not cheap, but he does a marinised 714 CI normally aspirated 1100 HP engine!
