Any way to work them into the existing system?
Perhaps if layouts were a selection such as: DOHC Inline, SOHC Inline, SOHC V, DOHC V (Quad Cams)
Valves can be adjusted like bore/stroke (finer amount of course)
Not sure about the fuel delivery system stuff though...
How much demand is there for something like this?
As I mentioned earlier (see the MG - Morris example) I would love to see it implemented in an easy way.
I would suggest that head type and the number of valves could be quiet easy done with a selection at the beginning of the engine development menue (like number of cylinders, etc.). Also you could keep the selection quiet simple (4 head types (sv, ohv, ohv, dohc - V-Engines would not be seperated) an 4 valve types (2, 3, 4, 5)) when choosing an engine that these features has (not a Wankel engine ).
My least priority would be the fuel delivery sytem, as there are only about three differentations.
I don't know how much work that be for you Eric, but the result would be much clearer than just having an a "tech-slider". So I think the engine designing would be much more realistic without going too much in the automation-area und also quiet simple and more obvious than a tech-slider for the players with not so much technical knownledge.
