The engine used in Weineck, is a proprietary Weineck V8, though its parts were manufactured by Donovan Engineering. It used an entirely unique Tube chassis, because the original Shelby chassis could not hold up to the torque of the motor.[1] The engine cooling system had to be designed in house because chassis no. 4 was ordered by a customer in Dubai.[2]
