200bhp and 167nm of torque, would make a rather good engine donor

Suprised no one has used the original vmax engine in a car, very torquey and shaft drive.

Also had what yamaha called v-boost, two carbs feeding each cylinder at high revs...

If it had reverse I'd fit one

Been talked about a bit before (with some good pics): http://locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=90192
