The weight would be hardcore. You can make 550hp using half the motor. That thing wouldnt rev hard but it would be a torque monster.

Paul you should see my mates LC that he's doing. It's strictly for circuit work but it's on a rotisserie at the moment getting bare metalled and seam stiched. He's even that fanatical about it that he's replicated the panel shape where the battery tray used to sit so it has the same raised shapes as the other side. All done in the home shed... it's too good for a race car.

Yeah it's long gone now. Someone has probably wrapped it around a pole since :-/ he still talks about fishing trips to the west coast where he'd be sitting on 180kmh most of the way just cruising. I did end up getting driven to school in a yellow 5L hz wagon so I felt pretty cool anyway that sounded tuff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
