Theres a way around it to make the 1200 engines legal everywhere, since they're boat anchors anyhow. Just have a 1000cc stock liquid cooled or a 1200cc air/oilcooled limit. I have one of the poor boat anchor powered cars, funny thing is it's faster than any new stock 1000. Reliable like sledge hammer also. hmmmm dumb luck I guess. As for running a slightly oversize 1000, I wouldnt let it stop me from racing a stock 1000 race.
