You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

It's a Viento IIRC with some tube mods to accomodate that lardy great Dodge motor. An excellent case of I can so I will IMHO 
(could have looked after the bare chassis a bit better though)

Oh no. That means i need to put a 6.0 V12 in mine to better that

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

You will need a Jaguar engine from this one to beat that

Just have a look at the most recent pictures.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Love to but not very locost. I have seen V12 jag engines tuned to over 600hp with a little help from aj6engineering
Im seriously considering a V12 though (post SVA  ). Just waiting for an e-mail to confirm the size to make sure it would fit. Now THAT would be
heavier than a pinto

I've seen mention of a Jag V12 in a MG Midget, so I'm sure it could be made to fit somehow.
Though I can only find one with a 6pot with a quick search http://www.coupers-cars.com/sprite_restoration.htm

I've definitely seen a Jag V12-powered MGB GT... think it was dark maroon rather than black, though

That is barking (but I like it!).
Must pull like a train in straight line's, but not sure it would be all that clever on a track - that's a hell of a lot of weight in such
a small package.

the v12 RH chassis got built around the engine and box , not sure if you could actually get them out again !! .
the stainless monocoque , was probably quite a lot better than the ally version , but that doesnt say much .

Does it have to be an iron jag v12? Why not something ally? Toyota do one. Like their v8, the v12 is supposed to be very strong and easy to tune if
blown.

AFAIK all Jaguar V12's are aluminium block and head. They still weigh a lot more than a pinto.

really? Well, you learn something new every day! I was considering a jag v12 for another project, but discounted it as early investigation suggested
they were iron.

Some information about them here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_V12_engine
And here's a link to an MGB with one, looks a little fun under there so I'm probably miss-remembering the Midget with one.
