Hi again,


if you want a big V8 to get more Hp and torque, why not consider swaping a Subary Impreza tubo engine. You could use the Subaru 5 speed transaxle that comes with it, mount it in mid-engine configuration or mount it rear-engine with reverse cut ring an pinion gears. No more need to find an adapter to mate the engine to the tranny. This would keep the weight of the car as low as possible, also subaru engines have low center of gravity, it could help if driveability is an important factor in your build.
