I agree...the bodywork leave a bit to be desired, but the engineering involved in the drivetrain swap is pretty sweet.

Guinness' motor is getting kinda old and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by the idea of shoehorning a V-8 under the hood, though I'd probably go with a 302 out of an older Mustang GT...
Power and weight, Brant. It just doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Couple o' six-packs should just about complete the picture, don'ch'a think?



Now, really, what would be awesome would be to find a last gen RX-7 Wankel and stuff that into it. I wonder if anyone's tried such a thing.
