Default Donovan Engines

Anyone running one of these in a "driver?" f so, who did the build and how happy are you with the whole concept, cost, performance, reliability and overall handling of your car now? Thanks in advance, if you rather answer with a private message I will respect your privacy and not share any details.

I was thinking about it, but the cost was $15,000-$20,000, for that price I would rather just build a Brookville roadster.

That's almost 2 good condition drivers. One for every other day.

There is a Donovan engine in a car that has made several of my Summer Tours. He seems to like it and he runs it hard.
