I remember when the Shogun came out.  If I remember right, they have a Taurus
SHO engine stuffed back there - what a blast it must be to drive one.  Same
idea as an R5 Turbo or Renault Sport Clio V6...  I knew a guy in Nashville who
flipped the transaxle upside down, turned it around backward and mounted a
big-bore micro bus motor in the middle of his Beetle - He generally took FTD
at every autocross he attended.  Also have seen a similarly thought
out original Mini with a VTEC Honda engine mounted in the back seat driving
the rear wheels.  I love hot-rodded little cars - if I only had the time and
the welding skills...

Much more eloquent than my response of, "why not?"  These cars are not coach
built Bugattis, they are not rare.  While I don't want to see one mounted on
a sign or used as a planter, this is fun.  I'm sure that there will be
people who think I'm crazy when I drop a big 'ole in the back of a Festiva.
But it just sounds like fun to me.

about something different.
