Any views on the use of a thunerace engine in a kit car? - is 5gears a problem and is the clutch/gearbox up to it?

It's essentially the same as the FZR1000.

That engine was used in the Light Car Company Rocket designed by the great Gordon Murray.
I would use one, but my deciding factor is price before all other considerations - because I'm tight. Gas tight.
