As most of you likely know by now, I am not knowledgeable about 850's. So I really did not know what I was looking at today when I saw a old DSR racer with what was reported to be a PBS race 850 engine. The engine was about the size of a 850 block but had a twin cam head that looked more like something off a Toyota or such. The rocker cover and oil sump (cool looking fined alloy pan with a side extension for increased capacity) had the PBS logo. It had a tube header and a pair of large side draft Webers. Other typical race prep parts on the engine as well. Unfortunately the owner did not know anything about it other than to say it was a PBS engine. The DSR used a trans that looked like a 850 unit, with the engine rear mounted (which I thought odd for a sports racer). Overall the car was tired looking and partly disassembled. Seemed pretty much like a home made project from many years ago. As you also know, I don't take pictures much so nothing to show you. Anyone know what the engine might have been?
