Small car, big engine
Right, If you weren't building a Locost/Indy/Luego etc and chose instead to put a large engine in a small car, strip it to it's bones and
uprate the suspension, what would you choose?
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

Why not a locost
I have a friend who has just started building a 442 chassis with a...are you sitting down...454 cubic inch Big Block Chevy!!!! (thats approx 7.5
ltrs)
I will see if he has pictures yet, last time I checked the top and bottom rails were built and the engine was mocked up in it

I was thinking about a ZVH in a stripped Fiesta, sure it's been done though.

Mine would be a Pug 205 with a mid mounted 3.0 V6 driving the rear wheels - similar concept to the V6 Clio

I like your "3dr Nova" Joel
You could have some fun on a saturday night down the local town.
Borrow the wifes make up, paint some "bumfluff" on yer top lip, a few zits,
an' a baseball cap on backwards,
then leave a couple of "darkies" at the traffic lights.

Mark Allanson's reminds me of a car I used to see hillclimbing - a Fiat 500 with a mid mounted supercharged AlfaSud engine. It was road legal
and looked standard apart from wheels and small arch extensions.
