"9 foot chassis.

The info about the S3 engine is incorrect: This was a typo from an early BDC members list. It should have said 5.3 but the 5 was mistaken for an S This was one of the
first 5.3 engines built from a shortened 8 Litre block rather than the current method of adding a new block to a 3 litre or 4.5 litre crank case."
