myt (massive yet tiny) Engine conversion?

this would really be something to look into for our cars because it would make them much lighter with more horses and torque and much better gas mileage! try googleing these engines if anyone can see a conversion place in the us tell us on this thread and we can try to find out how much it would cost i think this could be an amazing future if we can get some of these ordered and introduced to the group! lots of possibilities!

Re: myt (massive yet tiny) Engine conversion?

We already have our own versions of massive yet tiny engines. They're called the World Products 454 SBC crate engine. Massive big-block displacement inside, tiny SBC dimensions outside :-)
More seriously, that link mentions 3000 hp, which we can't use, and gives no price. that may be a reality someday, but by the time it's an option for us, there won't be any more gasoline. No, 30 years from now, most of us will have swapped in 3-Liter turbodiesels so we can run biodiesel, because crude oil from dead dinosaurs will be just a memory by then.
