Plastic automotive engine
The Plastic automotive engine has its origins in the late 1980s with a company named Polimotor Research Inc. of Fair Lawn, New Jersey, founded by Matty Holtzberg.
==Version One==
Version one was based on Ford's 2.3-liter Pinto engine and weighed 153 lbs (69.4 kg) (vs. 415 lbs (188.2 kg) for its cast iron counterpart). It was composed of metal cylinder sleeves, metal combustion chamber tops, metal piston crowns, bearings, valves and seats, and a stock 2.3L Pinto crankshaft. Nearly everything else in the engine, including the block, rods and piston skirts, were made of Torlon thermoplastic resins manufactured by Amoco Chemicals Co. The engine was never installed in a vehicle.
Note: Although some sources claimed that Ford had been a partner in creating the engine,〔http://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/09/business/ford-in-venture-for-plastic-motor.html〕〔http://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/09/business/ford-in-venture-for-plastic-motor.html〕 Holtzberg was later quoted as saying that "Ford was not involved at all"〔http://www.enginelabs.com/news/plastic-race-engine-returns-as-polimotor-2-project-underway/〕
