The Omega engine option is only available to the Streamliner and Lakester Engine Classes. I assume it is governed by the same criteria that applies to all the other engine categories.STREAMLINER - /BFS, /FS, /BGS, /GS, /DS
Engine classes allowed are (Omega), AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, XO, XF, XXF, XXO, & V4.
LAKESTER - /BFL, /FL, /BGL, /GL
Engine classes allowed are: (Omega), AA, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, XF, XO, XXF, XXO & V4.
These are all-out straightaway vehicles with non-stock engine blocks allowed.
Innovation is unlimited.
I assume that the "Omega" designation is a prefix to all of these engine classes. ie (omega)C/BFL or (omega)C/FL or (omega)C/GL... The other problem being that a Miller Cycle is supercharged as is a Detroit 2 cycle Diesel. So would there be a blown and unblown class. The part I am curious about is "innovation is unlimited". Does this mean I can take a production 4 cycle engine and make it a 2 stroke or 3 stroke or whatever, as opposed to how it was produced. Or can I take and cast and machine whatever assy I want and call it an Omega engine? I am sure some one knows the history of why this class was originated, and can explain the ?'s Letter Cubic Inch Displacement Approximate Liter Equiv.
