I was astounded when I was told that Bloodhound(?) used a Formula 1
engine to deliver the fuel.


I'd be surprised. They are not designed for a long service life.
Rebuilt after every race.


It was initially to use a Cosworth CA2010 engine now cosworth have
closed their partnership agreement. It will use a 550bhp Jaguar
Supercharged V8


That would make more sense. A proved reliable production engine - rather
than cutting edge stuff.
