-=Engine:=
-As of 2019, the FSAE rules require an internal combustion engine with a displacement of 710cc or less. Available OEM motors within this displacement limit are largely sourced from motorcycles and snowmobiles.
-=Intake=
-All air used by the engine(s) for combustion must pass through a 25mm opening, commonly referred to as a 'restrictor'. For naturally aspirated engines, this restriction limits the maximum power output from the engine to about 100 hp.
-=Exhaust=
-The competition rules limit sound output of the engine.
-=Fuel=
-The fuels available at US competitions are gasoline of octane ratings 93 and 100, and E85.
