Need the 411 on 25-valve I5

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

That head never made it into a production car. There are a few websites that show in detail how the engine was designed. 

The Talladega car was far from a 5000 turbo quattro. I think the only production pieces used on that car was the roof panel. The engine was physically moved closer to one side of the vehicle, as well as fiber bodywork and plastic windscreens.
