It's doable, but as to what it'll look like when done is another matter. Probably not a lot like a "normal" 7.

the cobra guys thing a v12 is to heavy in the front of even a dav de-dion so i dont think a v12 seven would be a handful to say the least
Some people are worried about the difference between right and wrong. I'm worried about the difference between wrong and fun.

The only way you'd ever get it to handle would be to stick the engine in the cockpit & put the seats behind the rear axle!!!
Of course if you put it behind the driver, in the proper place for the engine ...........
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I seem to recall aome waggish soul back in the 1970's (hmmm...dating myself, I'm afraid) putting a Jag V-12 into an Austin Mini
....transverse mounted! Apparently it was a terror at the drag strip. Hell, if it'll fit in there, it should go into a Locost with
ease!

RH did one for sure; it was up for sale when I was looking for a kit - circa about 1 1/2 years ago; I even considered buying it as ti was going
for what I thought was a rasonable price.
